COVID-19 cases continue to rise in Jefferson County. We have now moved from the yellow, or second safest zone, to the orange, or second worst zone.
Nearly all serious illnesses and deaths are among people who are not vaccinated. Anyone 12 and older can easily get vaccinated virtually any day. The best way to access vaccines is at the website https://www.vaccines.gov/. Enter your zip code and vaccine sites near you will appear. You’ll find links to click and numbers to call.
For residents who don’t have access to technology or have difficulty using an online process, the staff at Louisville Metro’s COVID-19 Helpline, (502) 912-8598, can assist with scheduling an appointment.
Maps with vaccination rates by zip code are here. Higher rates are in darker green colors.
