Vaccine is free of charge; Veterans interested in getting vaccinated should send email to

Teachers, childcare providers, employees of food processing plants and other critical infrastructure workers will be eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine starting March 15, Gov. Mike Parson announced Thursday.
Activating the next phase Tier 3 of Phase 1B follows the state’s priority to save lives, Parson said.
“This is exactly why we started with our healthcare workers, our first responders and our most vulnerable population. Tier three represents another very important part of our society,” Parson said. “They are the workers in many of the industries we depend on each day to keep our day-to-day lives operating normally.”
Parson’s announcement comes days after the state health officials told vaccine providers to begin to prepare for expanded eligibility and follows growing calls in recent weeks for educators to be made eligible now.
A spokeswoman for Gov. Mike Parson’s office confirmed Tuesday afternoon that, as it currently stands, the state is still planning to hold its first mass vaccination site in the St. Louis area Saturday at the University of Missouri-St. Louis, after previously announcing that all the sites for this week would be canceled.
Parson identified site locations over the weekend for Missouri’s fourth week of COVID-19 mass vaccination events, and for the first time, the sites were set to include locations in St. Louis and Kansas City. But the governor’s office announced Monday night that all events are canceled for this week due to winter weather across the state.
