Hundreds of thousands of St. Louis-area residents are now eligible to receive a coronavirus vaccination.
As of mid-January, those cleared for vaccinations include health care workers, first responders, people over 65 and those with chronic health conditions.
People unable to get a shot through their employer can complete online pre-registration forms from county health departments and area hospital systems.
The forms collect residents’ names and contact information, as well as details about their health risks. Once enough vaccine supply becomes available, county health officials will use that information to contact people to schedule vaccination appointments.
A majority of counties prefer for people to fill out the online forms, instead of calling by phone.

The Missouri Department of Health and Human Services recently launched an interactive map listing all of the vaccination sites in the state, but not all providers have doses yet.
Health officials say people should continue masking, hand-washing and social distancing to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, as the community waits for more doses of the vaccine to become available.
