“As a medical professional, I am concerned,” Dr. Davin Turner, chief medical officer at Mosaic Life Care, told the St. Joseph News-Press, noting that signups for vaccines have slowed down in the city. “We would like to see more folks getting vaccinated. Even if they had COVID, we still recommend vaccination.”
After weeks of not enough vaccines, suddenly in St. Louis County there are more shots than people to fill appointments, KSDK reports.

COLUMBIA - Missouri will start Phase 3 of the COVID-19 vaccination plan this Friday. Phase 3 includes all adult Missouri residents, approximately 1.1 million Missourians.Â
Columbia/Boone County Department of Public Health and Human Services spokesperson Sara Humm said the department is looking forward to the process of getting vaccinated to be easier overall.  One of the things that will be really helpful is that, you know, we won t have to look at the lists of the tiers and phases to figure out where they fit into the phase and the tier system, Humm said. It ll be much easier to just say everyone is eligible.
Fully vaccinated people can gather without masks or social distancing, according to the CDC
