The state will open vaccine eligibility to all Missourians this Friday, April 9. In the past month, there have been several major vaccination events held in St. Louis County,
On Saturday, March 20, an event was held at North County Recreation Complex specifically targeting some of our most vulnerable areas in north St. Louis County. A second vaccination event targeting North County zip codes occurred on March 25 at the Metro North Fire District. Approximately 500 people were served at that event.
The County sponsored an event targeted to school personnel on March 23 and 24 that vaccinated approximately 2,000 school personnel. A mass vaccination event with the National Guard occurred on March 26 and 27 at Queeny Park at 550 Weidman Road. That event was so successful that an additional mass vaccination clinic at Queeny Park was held this past Thursday. This Thursday another a mass vaccination event will be held at the Kennedy Recreation Center, 6050 Wells Road.
These are appointment-only events, and registrations will be taken from the county’s preregistration list. (bit.ly/STLCoCOVIDVaccineReg
