The first doses of coronavirus vaccines are almost ready to roll out across the nation and in Missouri.
Missouri Health Director Randall Williams says the state expects to get almost 340,000 doses of vaccines to fight COVID-19 this month. Leaders at the Columbia/Boone County Public Health and Human Services say they are preparing for this next step in the fight against the virus.
Columbia/Boone County Health Director Stephanie Browning says she understands that after months of pandemic, we’re all tired. She says the community has persevered, made sacrifices, and now hope is on the way.
“We ve made a lot of hard sacrifices and the holidays are going to be tough for families because we know a lot of people like my own will not be getting together for Christmas and we didn t for Thanksgiving, but there is hope ahead,” Browning said.
