Public health officials say the region is now in a race to encourage people to get the COVID-19 vaccine before the virus becomes more widespread.

State and local officials hope the two-month immunization event at the Dome at America’s Center will help fill the city’s “vaccination gap.” Nearly 28% of Missouri’s population has received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. However, only 19% of people in St. Louis have.
