Andy Beshear said Tuesday during a COVID-19 briefing the second day of initial vaccine deliveries have shown the Pfizer coronavirus vaccine to be 94-95% effective with minimal side effects, calling it a “modern day medical miracle.” Beshear said later this week, biotechnology company Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine will likely be authorized for emergency use by the Food and Drug Administration, meaning shipments of the vaccine could begin as early as next Monday. The governor also said the number of new confirmed cases are lower than past two Tuesdays, reporting 2,946 new cases with a test positivity rate of 8.53%. The number of cases reported Tuesday of last week were 3,114 cases, with 4,151 cases reported two weeks ago on Tuesday. However, hospitalizations in the state continue  to increase, with 1,788 patients total, 438 patients in the ICU, and an additional 246 patients on ventilators.
