Kentucky State Ombudsman, Sherry Culp, was interviewed regarding the federal vaccine mandate for nursing home staff. Only 50% of Kentucky nursing home employees are vaccinated, according to the most recent federal data, ranking it seventh from last among the states. Sherry said she hears from nursing home employees who fear the vaccine because they do not understand it.
