Many still need to be vaccinated as the state prepares for Tier 3
COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
Gov. Mike Parson said Thursday there are approximately 800,000 Missourians who are eligible and interested in receiving a coronavirus vaccine.
The governor announced that people who fall into the Phase 1B Tier 3 will be eligible to receive vaccinations on March 15. Parson expects by then that 400,000 Missourians will be eligible.
Nancy Miller, and 82-year-old Boone County resident, said she has signed up through multiple surveys and still has not been able to find any available doses.
Miller said she thinks the state should wait an extra two to three weeks after March 15 before moving to the next tier to continue to prioritize people in her age group.
