The Acting Director of the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services is urging continued vaccination as close monitoring of the Delta variant continues. Robert Knodell said in a recent press release that “With this variant being easier to spread and possibly causing more severe illnesses among unvaccinated people of all ages, vaccinations are the best way to stop this virus in its tracks.”
The COVID-19 Delta variant is present in Northeast Missouri.
