Missouri Gov. Mike Parson said additional hospital staff will begin working at six hospital groups on Monday.
This comes after the state recently announced a 12-week contract with health care consultant
Vizient, as staffing at hospitals continues to be a struggle due to an influx of coronavirus cases.
There are more than 2,500 patients in the hospital with the coronavirus. More than 600 are in intensive care units, and just over half of them are on ventilators.
“We currently have 117 contracted staff, from ICU registered nurses to respiratory therapists,” said Parson of the employees on the way. “The first group of staff is scheduled to begin on Monday.”
During Wednesday s briefing at the state Capitol, Governor Mike Parson provided an update on the initial distribution of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.
“We have been preparing for a COVID-19 vaccine for many months now, and everything has gone according to our state vaccine plan,” Governor Parson said. “Hospital administrators, health care workers, and Missourians from across the state have expressed how thankful they are that a vaccine is here and see these first shipments as a sign of hope for the future.”
Missouri s 21 initial vaccination sites have received almost all 51,675 doses of the first Pfizer vaccine shipment. The state expects to receive another significant shipment to additional vaccinations sites next week. Pending approval by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the state could also receive its first shipment of 105,300 doses of the Moderna vaccine next week.
