Missouri governor doesn't want door-to-door
vaccine help
(AP) — Federal officials are pushing back af-
ter Missouri Gov. Mike Parson said he doesn’t
want government employees going door-to-
door in his state to urge people to get vacci-
nated, even as a COVID-19 outbreak over-
whelms some hospitals.
Missouri asked for help last week from newly
formed federal “surge response” teams as it com-
bats an influx of cases that public health officials are
blaming on fast-spreading delta variant and deep-
seated concerns about the vaccine. After President
Joe Biden mentioned the possibility of door-to-
door promotion of the vaccine, Parson tweeted: Brnovich also sent a letter to Biden condemning

Parson has urged people to get vaccinated, while
also declining to enact restrictions to control the
virus’ spread, instead asking residents to take
personal responsibility. Missouri — which leads
the nation with the most new COVID-19 cases
per capita over the last two weeks — never had
a mask mandate, and Parson signed a law last
month placing limits on public health restric-
tions and barring governments from requiring
proof of vaccination to use public facilities and
transportation.

Branson is located have received at least one

Vaccine and mask resistance runs deep in the
area: Branson’s mayor was elected to office this
spring after running on a platform that called for
doing away with masks.
