The foundation says that's encouraging news for the state's push to reach herd immunity... which means 70 to 85 percent of the population is fully vaccinated.

Of those who have been... or plan to... get vaccinated... most were female... a democrat or independent.... and living in an urban community.

Of the 29-percent of kentuckians who said they probably... or definitely would not.... get the shot.... most were male... republican, and living in suburban or rural communities.

That mirrors the results of several nationwide polls.
