COLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri's health director says the state should be able to vaccinate all hospital workers and nursing home staff and residents against the coronavirus by the end of the year.
Randall Williams on Friday told reporters that Missouri is expecting to get close to 340,000 doses of coronavirus vaccines this month.
Once the initial groups receive their first and second doses of the vaccine, Missouri plans to open vaccinations to teachers, essential workers and people at higher risk of getting seriously ill from the coronavirus.
Williams says says he's hopeful anyone who wants a vaccine should be able to get one by July or August.
