Team Kentucky’s #VaxandVisitKY provides a great incentive to Kentuckians to get their shot of hope: a COVID-19 vaccine! The drawings also raise awareness of how Kentuckians can obtain an appointment for one of the safe and e ective vaccines. Eligible Kentuckians who have received a COVID-19 vaccine can register for a chance to win a safe-cation at any of Kentucky’s 45 state parks. Our Commitment to Helping Kentuckians

Safe-cations include golf, lodging and campground gift certifi cates. From vaccine distribution to offering in-state travel incentives through our Vax and Visit KY campaign, our cabinet has been actively engaged in the commonwealth’s emergency response efforts. To encourage more Kentuckians to receive their shot of hope, our cabinet agencies served as vaccine distribution sites to ensure Kentuckians in every community in the commonwealth had access to safe vaccinations. More than 24,000 Kentuckians participated in the Vax and Visit KY outreach campaign.

The December 2021 quad-state tornado is the worst tornado event in state history with at least four tornadoes devastating eight Kentucky counties. The tornado event resulted in the Governor declaring a state of emergency to ensure that federal funding was available to provide emergency resources and rebuild our Western Kentucky communities. The state of emergency activated over 180 Kentucky National Guard members as well as Kentucky State Police, Fish and Wildlife conservation offices and Kentucky State Park rangers. Our state parks rangers and conservation officers helped with human rescues, first aid and emergency transport, traffic control, clearing roadways, safety checks and delivering emergency supplies. Our state parks provided emergency shelter and food services for more than 800 displaced Kentuckians and 250 first responders.
