Trigg County health officials say more than 800 people received the COVID-19 vaccine during the week.
Trigg County Hospital CEO John Sumner says more than 500 people 70 and older were vaccinated during a two-day vaccination clinic at the Trigg County Recreation Complex. Prior to this week more than 200 health care workers were vaccinated in the community.
Jim Tolley with the Pennyrile District Health Department says more than 150 people were vaccinated for COVID-19 by midday Thursday at the Trigg County Health Department.
Sumner says Trigg County Hospital is hoping to receive more vaccine next week and will announce a vaccination schedule if they receive more vaccines. Sumner says the hospital has also sent a request to Public Health Commissioner Dr. Steven Stack to possibly serve as a regional vaccination site.
The Pennyrile District Health Department announced they will be holding vaccine clinics January 11 through the 14 at health departments in Trigg, Caldwell, Lyon, Crittenden and Livingston Counties.
