National Guard

While announcing the National Guard would go to Memphis next, President Trump said the head of Union Pacific also asked him to do the same in St. Louis. "He said, 'Sir please, do me a favor. St. Louis has been so badly hit. It's very hard. Very very hard.'"

Missouri and Massachusetts are the only states whose National Guards fall under another state department agency instead of answering directly to the governor.

There will be nine National Guard teams deployed throughout the state and each team can vaccinate up to 2,500 people per day depending on supply.
