CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. (KFVS) - As of Friday, April 5, Kentuckians over the age of 18 can now get the two-shot Moderna or the one-shot Johnson and Johnson vaccine.
Anyone 16 or older is allowed to get the Pfizer vaccine.
Across western Kentucky, some health officials say it seems area residents who are eligible for a vaccination are a little hesitant to take the shot.
“There are still lots of people that are hesitant. Those people we are going to have to try to reach somehow,” said Melissa Ballard.
