The number of people receiving the COVID-19 vaccines in Missouri is continuing to increase. During an interview Tuesday on KWIXLand This Morning, Governor Mike Parson said that will continue to be the case.

Parson says having access to the vaccine in rural portions of Missouri is also key.

Last Friday, 2,175 people received a COVID-19 vaccination during a drive-thru clinic at Rothwell Park in Moberly, with assistance provided by a number of agencies, including the National Guard.
