COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
The state s health department is now tackling issues brought by the growing supply of coronavirus vaccine doses and shrinking demand.
Data of the state s COVID-19 vaccination website shows the numbers trending downward, reporting the 7-day average of doses given has dropped to 28,046 as of Monday. The state s peak 7-day vaccination rate was 54,012 reported on April 11.
During the Department of Health and Senior Services weekly call with vaccine providers across the state, leaders addressed questions about the drop in people getting the shot.
The director of the Division of Community and Public Health Adam Crumbliss asked vaccinators to pivot to smaller-scale vaccine events that are more targeted.
