The funding from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act will also pay for health screenings, an additional vaccination site and research on Kansas City's East Side.
The CARES Act allocation goes to a partnership that includes Truman Medical Centers, the University of Missouri-Kansas City and the Black Health Care Coalition.

Missouri Left Coronavirus Vaccine Rollout For Minorities Up To Regional Teams — And Most Haven't

As Missouri’s COVID-19 vaccine rollout geared up, the state left the work of making sure Black and Latino communities got equitable access to nine regional groups.
The theory was simple — a regional organization would know its area best and would understand how to reach at-risk community members.
But more than a month into the rollout, four of those regional teams aren’t up and running and just 5% of the doses have gone to Black Missourians.
In the state, Kansas City has the highest number of vaccine deserts in areas that are particularly medically vulnerable, according to an analysis by Deloitte. When Kansas City’s implementation team gets started — and it still has not, even this far into the vaccine rollout — it will span 13 counties and cover more than a million people.
