When it comes to coronavirus in Kentucky, the state’s health commissioner has a priority wish in 2023. Dr. Steven Stack said he hopes more people would get vaccinated against the viral disease. For those 65 and over, less than 40% have received the bivalent booster. Stack said the risk of catching COVID may be a year-round possibility.
“COVID has not yet demonstrated that it will be a seasonal disease like influenza which typically flares up in the fall and in the winter. COVID spreads so much more easily than influenza. And it may well be that this remains a year-round infection for a long time to come,” said Stack.
