Missouri began approving licenses for dispensaries to sell recreational marijuana a few days earlier than expected. But despite the late notice, customers were lining up first thing Friday morning.
After Mylissa Farmer said she was denied an abortion that she claims doctors confirmed was imperative to her health, the National Women’s Law Center filed a formal complaint with the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services, leading to an investigation.

City of Ste. Genevieve clerk Pam Meyer invited Ste. Genevieve County Health Department administrator Jennifer Mueller to appear before the board of aldermen.
Mueller met with both city leaders and elected officials during last Thursday’s regularly scheduled session her first appearance in her new capacity.
“We finally have some of the vaccine,” Mueller said during the city’s regular bi-monthly discussions regarding the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic.
In a joint effort of Ste. Genevieve County Memorial Hospital (SGCMH) and the health department, 900 shots of Moderna vaccine have been administered in the past two days at the Progress Sports Complex.
Missouri has determined that higher education faculty and staff as a whole will be part of Phase 2 distribution. Most students are expected to be included in Phase 3. However, the university encourages each individual to review the phases/tiers to identify their potential eligibility to join an earlier phase, which may change based on individual job responsibilities or health circumstances.
It is important to note that just because a state has opened a given phase/tier, the supply of vaccines remains limited with many vaccination sites having no active supply.
How to get the vaccine
Individual Initiated: Individuals who believe they are vaccine-eligible in a given phase can make an appointment with a health provider or contact their local health agency (Missouri Directory, Illinois Directory). Note that most local health departments have an online Vaccine Registration Survey allowing them to contact, screen and approve individuals according to phase.
