The FDA has approved Emergency Use Authorizations for the Pfizer, Moderna and Janssen vaccines. The federal government plans to increase supplies substantially in 2021. As a result, some groups may be recommended for vaccination first: healthcare workers, long-term care staff and residents, essential workers, high-risk residents and patients 65 and up.

An effective vaccination plan relies on free or low-cost vaccinations. You may bill private insurance, Medicaid or Medicare, however an individual can not incur a fee for their vaccination. Uninsured Missourians will be able to receive the vaccination regardless of their health insurance status.
