The St. Louis Area Business Health Coalition (BHC) has been recognized as a Gold COVID Stops Here workplace for achieving a 100% vaccination rate. 

The COVID Stops Here campaign recognizes Missouri workplaces that have achieved widespread vaccination against COVID-19. Businesses that have achieved at least a 70% vaccination rate are eligible to receive a designation.  

"As an organization dedicated to improving health in our community and nationally, we are committed to stopping the spread of COVID, and widespread vaccination is a key step in achieving that goal," said Lauren Remspecher, Senior Director, Member Engagement & Communications, for the BHC. "Our employer members share this vision, and we look forward to continuing to support them in keeping their employees (and their family members) safe during the pandemic."

The Missouri Chamber of Commerce and Industry developed the COVID Stops Here campaign as a way to celebrate workplaces that are leading the fight to stop COVID-19, and to encourage more organizations to join their ranks.

“The COVID-19 vaccine is Missouri’s pathway to recovery. The St. Louis Area Business Health Coalition is helping set the bar for vaccination in Missouri by achieving Gold COVID Stops Here status — meaning 100% of their employees are now vaccinated against COVID-19. This is a great achievement and we thank them for helping our state stop this dangerous virus,” said Daniel P. Mehan, president and CEO of the Missouri Chamber. “Employers are playing a very important role as we work to encourage vaccination in Missouri. In order to finally put this virus behind us, we need Missourians to get vaccinated as soon as possible. Together we can stop this virus - let’s make sure that COVID stops here!”
