Monroe Co. Health Department COVID-19 Vaccination: All Phases Now Eligible
Following the Commonwealth of Kentucky’s phased distribution plan, vaccination sites may now begin to vaccinate all eligible citizens as per the below Phases.
MCHD is currently scheduling appointments for eligible citizens ages 18 years and over, as vaccine supply permits; call the health dept at 270-487-6782 for more information. There are also local providers and pharmacies that are also adminstering COVID-19 vaccinations.
The table below defines each phase. As everyone patiently awaits their turn to obtain vaccination, it is important that we continue to protect ourselves, our family, and our neighbors by wearing a cloth face covering in public, avoiding close contact with others, frequently washing our hands and by staying home if we are ill.
