Until Wednesday, booster shots were limited to those age 65 and above.

(Frankfort, Ky.) - All Kentucky adults are now eligible to receive COVID-19 booster shots.
Governor Beshear signed an executive order on Wednesday that qualified every person 18 or old and living or working in the commonwealth to get a COVID-19 booster show six months after their second dose of the Moderna or Pfizer vaccines or two months after a single-dose Johnson and Johnson shot.
Until Wednesday, based on U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance, Moderna and Pfizer booster shots have been limited to Kentuckians who are over 65, have significant underlying conditions or are exposed to many people through their work.
"We are moving into the amazing holiday season with Thanksgiving, Christmas and other gatherings, which unfortunately are especially risky for COVID-19 being able to spread,” said Gov. Beshear. “Because of that, it’s more important than ever that we get people vaccinated and get people their boosters to push their immunity up to the highest levels, because over time that immunity wanes.”
As of Wednesday, more than 437-thousand Kentuckians have received a booster.
