Coronavirus vaccine supply is starting to outpace demand in Missouri, even after the state expanded eligibility, raising worries among some health care providers.
Early on, mass vaccination clinics in rural areas sometimes had excess doses, but demand had remained strong in more populous areas until recently.
The slowdown is occurring even though the state deemed anyone old enough to get the shot eligible last week and most residents remain unvaccinated.
State data shows that just 32.8 percent of residents have received at least one dose as of Wednesday.
