(Paducah, Ky.) May 7, 2021 —Baptist Health Paducah will hold its last first-dose clinic for the COVID-19 vaccine on Monday, May 17.

Appointments are available online at www.ScheduleYourVaccine.com for anyone 18 and older. Those with a vaccination appointment must enter at the first floor of the Larry Barton Atrium.

Baptist Health Paducah began administering the Moderna vaccine on Dec. 23, starting with employees, local healthcare workers and school personnel in Paducah and McCracken County. Moderna is a two-dose vaccine with a second shot 28 days later.

To date, the hospital has vaccinated 14,150 people. With so many people already vaccinated, the demand for vaccines has decreased in recent weeks.
