Kentucky expands COVID-19 vaccinations to anyone 50 or older

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Gov. Andy Beshear says Kentucky will expand eligibility for COVID-19 vaccinations next week to include every adult age 50 and older. And the vaccine rollout will reach new heights in coming weeks. The governor on Thursday made a commitment to open up vaccine eligibility to every Kentuckian age 16 and older by April 12. The next phase of expanded inoculations will start Monday. That’s when the 1C vaccination category will expand to include Kentuckians age 50 and older. The segment has included people 60 and older, anyone older than 16 with high-risk medical conditions and anyone deemed an essential worker.
