Flu vaccines will be avail­able soon at the Broadwater County Health Dept. Di­rector Margaret Ruckey encouraged the public to make appointments at her office. The department will not accept those who might walk in for vaccinations. The Health Department Facebook page will notify the public when the flu shots will be available.

Ruckey said she has some Moderna vaccines available for those people over age 18 who have not yet received their first and second COVID vaccinations. Those who have had their first and second shots must wait two months before receiving the booster vaccination.

Vaccine for the newest strain of COVID will not be available until later this fall. The department is still doing COVID testing in the office, but no longer has test kits available.

As of Aug. 26, Montana had 1,714 active cases of the Omicron variant of COVID 19. Ruckey reported Broadwater County had five active cases as of Sept. 12.

To make an appointment please call (406)266-5209.
