Some western Kentucky health departments are gearing up to administer a third extra dose of the COVID-19 vaccines following the Biden administration’s announcement that the general public would start receiving booster shots next month. Local health departments plan to start administering booster vaccines to those who are immunocompromised.
MCCRACKEN COUNTY (WSIL) -Since the beginning of July, the McCracken County Public Library has been working with the Purchase District Health Department to give out free Narcan nasal spray, a brand of naloxone, to counter the effects of an opioid overdose in progress.
But why put medicine that helps stop an opiod overdose in a library? It might not be the first place that comes to your head but it s an institution in your town that is busy, that sees a lot of traffic, that sees people from all walks of life, it s a place from which you would trust information, said Interim Library Director Sarah McGowan.
