A new effort has begun in St. Louis County to help homebound residents and people with disabilities get COVID-19 vaccinations.
St. Louis Public Radio reports the county health department is working with 15 fire and emergency, management services districts, to deliver vaccines to homes and independent living facilities. A trial program began earlier this month with five fire districts. The county is expanding its effort to prioritize people who have no other choice than to have a vaccine delivered to their homes.
Meanwhile, the Kansas City area is seeing a slight uptick in the rolling average for new cases. The region reported 160 new cases yesterday.
