1. County Begins Vaccine Distribution, Offers Registration

As a State-registered provider of the COVID-19 vaccine, the St. Charles County Department of Public Health (DPH) has begun vaccination distribution pursuant to the State’s vaccination plan. In December 2020, the State authorized vaccination of those in Phase 1A; on Jan. 14, the State authorized vaccination of those in Phase 1B – Tier 1, and Phase 1B – Tier 2 (see graphic above). The DPH is receiving vaccines but has not been advised by the State regarding the timing or quantity of subsequent vaccine deliveries.
To prepare for distribution of the vaccine, the County is providing online registration to allow you to sign up so that, when your phase is reached and vaccine is available, you can be contacted to receive the vaccination. Whatever phase you are in, you can sign up NOW to be placed in a virtual queue. We urge you to also sign up through your health care provider’s hospital affiliation (such as SSM, Mercy or BJC) so that if the healthcare systems receive vaccine prior to the County, you can receive a vaccination in the timeliest manner. If you receive a vaccine from one provider, you can ask to be removed from the other lists for which you have registered.
If you receive an email from the DPH that you’re invited to make a vaccination appointment, the link should only be used by the direct recipient. Sharing the link with friends or making an appointment without receiving a direct invitation from DPH will result in being denied service upon arrival at the DPH vaccination site...MORE

4. Improvements Make Roadways Safer
Winter doesn’t mean the St. Charles County Highway Department slows down on improving roadways in our community. In fact, two major projects are in the works: a multi-use path along Pitman Hill Road near Veterans Tribute Park in Weldon Spring, and the realignment of the Weiss Road and Route N intersection with the addition of a multi-use path in Cottleville. Both will improve traffic flow, safety and make the areas more accessible for walking, running and biking…MORE |
