LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) â The University of Kentucky announced Tuesday it will transition away from the mass vaccination site at Kroger Field in favor of smaller sites, like healthcare clinics, as demand for appointments has dropped in recent weeks.
The clinic vaccinated about 4,000 people per day at its height, according to UK Chief of Police Joe Monroe, but is now down to under 1,000 vaccinations per day. It s not because of any lack of availability, he said, It s because most people either have been vaccinated or are in the process of being vaccinated at this time.
