At a news conference today, Gov. Parson announced the expansion of vaccination to Phase 1B – Tier 3 eligible Missourians, beginning March 15. He indicated that an additional 550,000 Missourians would be eligible under the tier expansion, and that the announcement was designed to help vaccinators prepare and to ensure a “steady flow of people interested in vaccination.” Parson said that the move would increase the eligible population to 3.5 million.
