COVID-19 vaccine bill gains approval from the Senate 1

Sen. Lindsey Tichenor, R-Smithfield, speaks on the Senate floor Tuesday on Senate Bill 295, which would prohibit COVID-19 vaccines from being required in many cases in Kentucky.

The Kentucky Senate advanced an amended bill Tuesday that would prohibit COVID-19 vaccines from being required for employment, professional licenses, receiving medical treatment or student enrollment and activities.

Senate Bill 295’s sponsor, Sen. Lindsey Tichenor, R-Smithfield, said the release of the vaccine ushered in an unprecedented overreach of the government by requiring a “novel medical product to be forced on people just to participate in society.”
