ATTENTION:
If you go out of state (TN or AR) to get testing done, it may not get reported to MO for a couple of weeks. It would be helpful if you could give us a call and self report it to us. We would need you to get a copy of your positive lab and either email it or fax it to the health department. For more info on this give us a call at 573-748-5541.

Eligible Missourians can now receive a COVID-19 vaccine through Walmart and Sam's Club locations across the state.
Why should I get vaccinated?
Getting the COVID-19 vaccine not only helps protect you, but also those around you who are not yet eligible to get the vaccine or are extra-vulnerable. By doing so, you’re performing an act of service for your community and freeing up health care resources for those in need with other health conditions.
To learn more visit CDC.gov/Covidvaccine
Is the vaccine safe?
Yes! The vaccine is safe and more than 90% effective in preventing COVID-19 after two doses*. When you receive your first dose, we will schedule your appointment for the second dose. It is absolutely necessary that you receive both doses. The COVID-19 vaccine cannot give you COVID-19.
To check availability and schedule an appointment, visit: www.walmart.com/COVIDvaccine and www.samsclub.com/covid.
Before scheduling an appointment, please verify your eligibility through your State Health Department's website.
