Parson announces next phase of vaccination plan

Gov. Mike Parson on Thursday announced the next phase of the state's COVID-19 vaccination plan.

Individuals who are 65 and older and those with underlying health conditions will be a priority as the vaccine supply ramps up next week.

“Beginning the activation of Phase 1B is all about saving lives and protecting those most vulnerable to exposure and illness from this virus," Parson said. "The more supply we receive, the quicker we can reach our goal of making vaccines available to every Missourian who wants one.”
