Rural vaccine shortages in Missouri cause urban frustration

ST. LOUIS (AP) – More than 7,700 doses of vaccine remained after massive vaccination events in Missouri last week. This is frustrating because rural provinces could not find enough people to use it, while urban dwellers are desperate for a dose.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that records from the Department of Public Safety in Missouri show that the remaining doses were usually transferred to another local provider or kept by the Department of Health for later use. In the course of those clinics, 152 doses were discarded.

Missouri plans to send mass vaccination teams to more large-scale events in Kansas City and St. Louis.
