On Monday April 5, all Kentuckians age 16 and over are eligible to be vaccinated as we are in a race against the variants. We must now pivot from asking for patience to encouraging haste. Links to all providers are on our website at: louisvilleky.gov/vaccine

COVID vaccine supply has caught up with demand. There are now appointments available through our hospital partners at UofL Health, Norton Healthcare and many pharmacies. 

Some are available as early as tomorrow. Links to all providers are available on the Louisville Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness website at: louisvilleky.gov/vaccine.

If you have questions or need assistance with registering for a COVID vaccine appointment please call the LOU HEALTH Helpline at 502-912-8598.
