Gov. Beshear: Vaccine doses given at Lexington Walgreens shouldn t have happened
and last updated 2020-12-29 09:28:07-05
LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) â Gov. Andy Beshear criticized the administering of vaccine doses at two Kentucky Walgreens locations but said mistakes are bound to happen as the unprecedented roll-out of the COVID-19 vaccines continues.
On Monday, Gov. Beshear said he learned two Walgreens stores, one in Lexington and one in Louisville, had given excess doses of the vaccine to some people who were not included in the state s initial phase of vaccine distribution. Under all the policies in place, it shouldn t have happened, Gov. Beshear said. I don t think it was intentional, but it should ve been done differently.
