The Check-In: The COVID-19 Vaccine Rollout

Margaret Day/Joann Martin

Since our last episode of The Check-In, a lot has happened. It's 2021, we have a new presidential administration, and a new plan for rolling out vaccines for COVID-19. But how is the rollout going here in Mid-Missouri?  Are you one of the more than 878,000 people to receive a shot, or are you still on a waiting list? How is it going for you?

Today, we'll speak with two guests to answer some of the most common questions about the vaccine rollout in Mid-Missouri. 

Our guests:

  • Dr. Margaret Day, Co-Chair, MU Health Care Vaccination Committee
  • Joann Martin, Administrator, Pettis County Health Center
