OWINGSVILLE, Ky. (LEX 18) â A shot of hope is what COVID-19 vaccines are to many hoping for a return to normalcy.
On Wednesday morning, 300 more Kentuckians were able to get their own vaccine at the Bath County Senior Center. Today is really about individuals receiving a shot of hope, said Victoria Elridge, the commissioner of the Department for Aging and Independent Living.
The clinic came to Owingsville thanks to a partnership between Walgreens and the Gateway Area Development District.
Elridge says in Kentucky s rural communities, promoting the vaccine relies less on social media and more on traditional formats. That includes simple word-of-mouth.
