MU Health Care to close COVID-19 vaccination site Nov. 30

Columbia Daily Tribune

MU Health Care will close its COVID-19 vaccination site on Keene Street on Nov. 30 as demand for the shots decreases and vaccinations shift to its clinics and pharmacies, the hospital announced Friday.

The vaccination site at 404 N. Keene St. has served as the primary location for MU Health's scheduled vaccination appointments since late August. The site met the increased demand over the summer and early fall for booster shots and third doses, and it has administered more than 5,200 doses, per a university news release.

The site will continue to offer second, third and booster shots through Nov. 30, and people can schedule an appointment at muhcvaccines.timetap.com. The site no longer schedules first-dose appointments, and it does not offer the pediatric vaccine for children ages 5 to 11. 

After Nov. 30, vaccinations will shift to select clinics and pharmacies. Participating Mizzou Pharmacy locations will offer online scheduling starting Dec. 1. Select clinics are scheduling vaccination appointments for existing patients only. Patients can call 573-771-2273 to see if their clinic has vaccine appointments.
