COVID Vaccinations Open To All Montana Adults April 1
All Montanans age 16 and up will be eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine starting April 1 as the state steps into Phase 2 of its vaccine distribution plan.
Gov. Greg Gianforte says he plans to receive his first dose tomorrow Thursday in Lewis and Clark County. I do know that as we’ve been administering these vaccines, infections have gone down, hospitalizations have gone down. We have not seen any severe complications from these vaccines. And I look forward to getting, as the English say, my jab, tomorrow.
The vaccine is available by appointment through county public health departments (find contact info here) and some pharmacies. You can search for available appointments on vaccinefinder.org, from Montana s clinic finder, and you can find more information in our vaccination guide.
LAKELAND – People looking for vaccines in Lakeland are almost sounding like addicts trying to find a dealer, consulting friends on social media to see which stores have appointment times and spreading the news when they find shots available.
That was the case this week when word got out that Cleveland Heights Pharmacy, across from Dog Leg Woods dog park, not only has COVID-19 vaccines but also had appointment times.
Pam Hoffman, 48, said she had gone on vaccinefinder.org to try to get an appointment somewhere anywhere. She said it showed that Publix, Walgreens and CVS had vaccines, but when she tried to make an appointment on their websites, there were none to be had. On Tuesday, she spotted Cleveland Heights Pharmacy on the VaccineFinder page.
