UK expands vaccine locations across Kentucky. Here’s where you can sign up.

Across the state, the University of Kentucky is expanding where Kentuckians can get free COVID-19 vaccines and testing.

At 11 different partner locations — nine of which are college campuses — community members can sign up for a vaccine or testing appointment, UK said in a release Tuesday. Outside of the college campuses, Kentuckians can also schedule appointments at the Toyota campus in Georgetown and at Keeneland. So far UK staff and volunteers have been administering the vaccine daily to thousands beneath the stands of Kroger Field.

“This university serves the entire Commonwealth,” said Joe Monroe, chief of the UK Police Department, in a statement. “On average, we administer 4,000 vaccines per day at our Kroger Field COVID-19 Vaccine Clinic, but we hope to more than double that number with these additional locations.”

Below are the new expansion locations, where appointments can be scheduled by following the link. Check the links often as new dates and times are added regularly. All community members can use the locations, including those on college campuses.
