St. Louis County Department of Health announced today that all residents may begin pre-registering for the COVID vaccine. To pre-register, you will need to fill out a short survey which asks several questions that will help the health department sort residents into their appropriate phase. You may fill out the survery here.

When you meet the current eligibility criteria for the phase the county is in and as they receive vaccine, the health department will email you with a link to schedule an appointment. Please be aware that it may be several weeks before you hear from the health department. While currently still in Phase 1a of distribution, the county is preparing to open up to Phase 1b over the next several weeks. They appear to be following the guidelines first sent out by Missouri a few months ago. This differs from the tiers we shared in our most recent newsletter. You may find Missouri's phases listed below. For more information, please visit stlcorona.com/covid19-vaccines or email DPHCOVIDvaccine@stlouisco.com.

In the meantime, we are still anticipating being approved as a distributor of the vaccine by Missouri. We will keep you updated as we learn more on that timeline. We suggest receiving the vaccine through the health department if you hear from them before we receive our shipment. As always, please just let us know if you receive the vaccine elsewhere, so we can update your chart accordingly.
