SUMMARY: At Nelson County Jail, an inmate was caught digging a hole in a wall to smuggle drugs inside. During a routine check, jailer Justin Hart discovered the attempt using a grate from a vent to create the hole. This isn’t the first time such incidents have occurred; two previous holes were found that allowed contraband to be smuggled in. The nearly 80-year-old, often overcrowded facility has faced ongoing security challenges. Since becoming jailer two years ago, Hart has implemented stricter, daily random checks to prevent escapes and drug smuggling. The inmate responsible now faces disciplinary segregation and must pay for the damages.

FDA approves updated Covid-19 vaccines with new restrictions and limits for healthy children

Published

lexingtonky.news – Melissa Patrick – 2025-09-02 09:48:00

SUMMARY: The FDA approved updated Covid-19 vaccines for fall 2025 but limited them to higher-risk groups, including children over 6 months with health conditions, reducing access for healthy kids. Moderna’s vaccine is approved for children 6 months and older, Pfizer’s for 5+, and Novavax for 12+, all targeting new variants. The CDC no longer routinely recommends vaccines for healthy children 6 months to 17 years, diverging from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), which supports vaccination for all children whose parents want it. These conflicting guidelines and supply issues may cause confusion and reduce vaccination rates among vulnerable children. Families should consult pediatricians for guidance.
