ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. St. Louis County Health Department officials are launching a new COVID vaccination effort among people of color next week, and they are enlisting the help of north St. Louis County beauty and barbershops.
SleevesUp-STL is the name of this initiative.
Organizers are asking community members to help distribute accurate COVID vaccine information in their community.
Inside the Mane Coarse Barber Shop, owner Thomas Higdon and his clients discuss a lot more than hairstyles. It is that community connection and familiarity in more than 50 barbershops and beauty salons that St. Louis County Health Department officials are hoping to access with SleevesUp-STL.
