The City of St. Louis Department of Health and its partners administered 78 doses of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine during a second-dose clinic at the 1520 Market building, home to the Department of Health. Many of these clients received their first dose four weeks ago during a clinic at the Omega Center in North City.

“Everyone who has received a first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine should take the necessary step to complete a vaccine series to provide the best protection from this virus,” says Dr. Fredrick Echols, acting director of health for the City of St. Louis.
