Ryan Fjell was drawn to a social media post for a former co-worker s daughter.
Roger Fangman has struggled with kidney disease for seven years. A couple years ago his daughter posted on Facebook, hoping to find her father s match for a kidney donor. Two years ago, my health had finally deteriorated far enough that they wanted to put me on the kidney donor list and told me to look for a living donor because that would be a lot healthier, Fangman said.
Fjell and Fangman used to work together at the Boonville Correctional Center.
Fjell, who now works at MU s Research Reactor, felt compelled by the post.Â
The Cooper County Public Health center is pushing the state for a vaccine delivery date, Director Melanie Hutton said.
“Category 1A has to be completed first before general population receives the vaccine,” she said.
Those who receive the vaccine are broken down into tiers and phases. Category 1A is for all healthcare personnel and staff who have potential for direct or indirect exposure to COVID-19 and are unable to work from home, according to the state s vaccination plan. The first phase includes health care workers, while the third phase is for the general population.
Missouri has administered more than 113,000 vaccinations produced by Pfizer and Moderna as of Jan. 7, based on Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data via reporting from AARP. Emergency use of the vaccinations was authorized in December from the Food and Drug Administration.
