Roy Blunt"},"content":{"rendered":"

The Missouri Chamber\u2019s COVID Stops Here campaign<\/a> is collaborating with U.S. Sen. Roy Blunt on a direct appeal to increase vaccination rates in Missouri. In a new advertising campaign launching Sunday, Aug. 1, Sen. Blunt asks Missourians to join him and get the COVID-19 vaccine.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m proud to be a part of the COVID Stops Here campaign and I strongly urge every Missourian to get their shot as soon as possible,\u201d said Sen. Blunt. \u201cRight now in our state, it\u2019s vaccine vs. variant. It\u2019s a fight we win by getting the vaccine so we can protect ourselves and the people around us. That is the only way we will get our families and our economy back to normal.\u201d<\/p>\n

The COVID Stops Here pro-vaccination campaign has already honored more than 100 Missouri businesses that have achieved widespread vaccination against COVID-19. A workplace may be eligible for a Gold (90% vaccinated), Silver (80% vaccinated) or Bronze (70% vaccinated) designation. Once approved, they receive signage and a media kit to help promote their status and encourage others to join them. The website also includes resources for employers who are still working to achieve widespread vaccination among their staff members.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe greatly appreciate Sen. Roy Blunt for speaking out on the need to get vaccinated. His message to Missourians couldn\u2019t come at a better time. While millions of Missourians have already been vaccinated, we need everyone to join in and get vaccinated as we try to stop the spread of the dangerous Delta variant of COVID-19,\u201d said Daniel P. Mehan, president and CEO of the Missouri Chamber of Commerce and Industry. \u201cI hope Missourians will heed Sen. Blunt\u2019s advice and get vaccinated as soon as possible. The vaccine is our state\u2019s best pathway to recovery and we all need to work together to ensure that COVID stops here.\u201d<\/p>\n
