The Laurel County Health Department is wrapping up its COVID-19 vaccinations for the county’s K-12 personnel.

Hensley said once they get that initial vaccine and once they receive their booster, they’ll have about 95% effectiveness against the virus.

Hensley said they vaccinated a total of 540 school personnel.
