A majority of Kentuckians favor getting the vaccine against COVID-19, according to a new poll released by the Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky.
It found 71% of the 807 adults polled throughout Kentucky said they already have or probably will get the vaccine, Ben Chandler, foundation president, said at a news briefing Wednesday.
And of the 29% who said they probably would not or definitely would not get the vaccine, about half said they might consider vaccination with more time and more information.
"Kentucky has a shot at herd immunity," Chandler said. "We believe there is opportunity here in Kentucky to grow the COVID-19 vaccination rate."
