After White House backlash, Missouri says it never rejected door-to-door vaccine outreach
After the White House rebuked Gov. Mike Parson Thursday for saying Missouri would not welcome a federal door-to-door vaccination outreach strategy, the state’s Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) appeared to walk back his statements.
On Wednesday evening Parson tweeted: “I have directed our health department to tell the federal government that sending government employees or agents door-to-door to compel vaccination would NOT be an effective OR welcome strategy in Missouri!”
But late Thursday, the department struck a more conciliatory tone.
“We do not have an email or message sent to the federal government regarding these efforts,” DHSS spokeswoman Lisa Cox wrote in an email to The Star.
“Door-to-door outreach is not an action we have taken at the state level, but that’s not to say it hasn’t been utilized at the local level,” Cox wrote. “As with many issues through the pandemic, there is no one-size-fits-all approach that will work for every single community.”
