A Northeast Missouri Health Department is expressing frustration over the state’s vaccine distribution. As the Governor yesterday announced the activation of Phase 1B – Tier 1 of Missouri’s COVID-19 Vaccination Plan, the Knox County Health Department posted on Facebook that they have an order for vaccine sitting in the state system–and are still at 0. The order was for tier 1A and an initial shipment for 1B. Lori Moots-Clair, the agency’s administrator, says she requested another shipment yesterday, and was informed it will be reviewed for possible shipment the last week of January. In the meantime, the health department suggests if you are aware of a larger county/entity/pharmacy that has the vaccine available, who is willing to vaccinate you–take advantage of it.
