It's Halloween 2021 and Montana is Only 55% Vaccinated

At least we're ahead of Alabama and West Virginia. While some Montanans are scrambling for their COVID-19 booster shot, so many have clearly indicated they're not interested in any shot at all.

If you ARE interested in getting vaccinated or getting a booster shot, they are readily available across the state of Montana. For Gallatin County, visit the Gallatin County Health Department page for where you can grab yours.

NOTE: The data used in this post is from the State of Montana COVID-19 dashboard on Thursday, October 28th, 2021 unless otherwise noted.
