Agencies looking to increase vaccinations rates in the region

Two organizations are partnering together to increase vaccination rates in the Pennyroyal region—not just for COVID-19, but for the flu, pneumonia, HPV and more.

According to a news release, the Kentucky Association of Health Plans—the trade association representing all commercial insurers and Medicaid managed care plans in the Commonwealth— has donated several hundred $20 gift cards to Community Medical Clinics in Hopkinsville, Princeton and Oak Grove. Those clinics will hand those $20 gift cards out, while supplies last, to anyone who receives a vaccine or a booster of any kind.

Some of the vaccines offered include Flu, Pneumonia, COVID-19, and HPV.  Those interested are encouraged to call their closest Community Medical Clinic location to schedule an appointment.

The Hopkinsville location is at 1102 South Virginia Street, the Oak Grove location is at 244 Thompsonville Lane, and in Princeton the clinic can be found at 310 Hawthorne Street. All locations are open Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. until 5:30 p.m.
