Owensboro Health announced Thursday night that they are beginning to vaccinate the next eligible community members — those over the age of 70 — and appointments can be scheduled now.
According to OH, those fitting the criteria would like to receive a vaccination can schedule an appointment by calling 270-685-7100, option #5.
At this time, OH is not able to accommodate walk-in vaccinations.
Earlier this week, Gov. Andy Beshear announced the planned vaccination phases in Kentucky are:
Phase 1a: Long-term care facilities, assisted living facilities, health care personnel
Phase 1b: First responders, Kentuckians age 70 or older, K-12 school personnel
Phase 1c: Kentuckians age 60 or older, anyone older than 16 with CDC highest-risk conditions for COVID-19, all essential workers
Phase 2: Age 40 and older
Phase 3: Age 16 and older
Phase 4: Children under the age of 16 if the vaccine is approved for this age group (estimated to comprise 18% of Kentucky’s population)
