COLE COUNTY - The Cole County Health Department will start administering 1,000 vaccines per day at the Capital Mall in Jefferson City starting Monday, April 12.
The doses given this week are Pfizer, meaning those who receive the vaccine will have to return for a second dose.Â
Cole Countyâs vaccination site expansion starts a few days after all Missouri adults will be eligible to receive a free vaccine. Since the event next week will be giving out Pfizer doses, 16 and 17-year-old residents will be able to receive a vaccine.
Cole County Commissioner Sam Bushman said the objective is a âslow and steadyâ approach. Bushman said this is contrasted with the goal of mass vaccination events, which aims to vaccinate as many people in the shortest amount of time.
