Missouri COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution and Cape Girardeau Co. Vaccination Plan Update: 01/25/21. Listen here.
Over the past week, new tiers of Missouri’s COVID-19 Vaccination Plan have been activated, making an additional 2.5 million Missourians eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. However, supplies are lagging behind demand.
Governor Mike Parson attributed the limited vaccine supply to the slow distribution rate of vaccines. The state is still getting 76,000 doses delivered for this week and the same amount by the end of next week.
Parson told Missourians they need to be patient. “It is important for all Missourians to understand that until vaccines become more widely available, they will be administered on a very limited basis.”
