(AP) — The rollout of the coronavirus vaccine is gaining momentum as Missouri’s coronavirus cases and hospitalizations begin to stabilize and extra health care workers arrive to provide relief, Gov. Mike Parson said Wednesday.

But Parson stressed that, with case volumes still high, “this fight is not over.”

So far the state has received 314,000 vaccine doses, with 66,000 administered as of Tuesday.

The first doses were given to health care workers; vaccinations of long-term care residents and staff didn’t start until Monday when Walgreens and CVS Health began administering them.
