Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear announced Tuesday afternoon an increase in COVID-19 vaccinations coming from the federal government.
During his news conference, Beshear said President Joe Biden announced the increase of vaccines for all 50 states.
Beshear reiterated that the state received less than 7,000 vaccines last week due to inclement weather, and added this week, the state will be getting more than 150,000 to make up for it.
Once approved, the Johnson & Johnson vaccine will be one-dose.
In other vaccine news, Governor Beshear said the commonwealth is on pace to be the fastest state in the country to vaccinate educators.
