ST CHARLES, Mo. — The St. Charles County Department of Public Health is partnering with the Missouri National Guard for three additional mass vaccination events at the Family Arena in St. Charles next week.
The drive-thru events will be held March 25-27. St. Charles County Public Health Director, Demetrius Cianci-Chapman said approximately 8,000 people will receive their first dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.
