Early this week, the Platte County Health Department asked those interested in receiving the COVID-19 vaccine to sign up through the state navigator site, even if they have previously signed up through the health department.

The Missouri Vaccine Navigator is intended to centralize signups and help Missourians navigate the COVID-19 vaccination process. This tool is used to schedule appointments for Platte County residents who have registered and wish to receive the vaccine.

When vaccine is available in the Kansas City area, residents will be notified by text or email message. Sign up at covidvaccine.mo.gov/navigator.

Those who need assistance completing this tool or those without internet access may call (877) 435-8411.
