Although the mass vaccination site is closing, COVID-19 vaccines will continue to be available to individuals 12 and older in Flathead County, the health department said in a press release. It will administer vaccines by appointment or walk-in on Tuesdays at the Flathead City-County Health Department Immunization Clinic.

“As we shift out of mass vaccination clinics, we want to extend our gratitude and appreciation for all the staff and volunteers who came together to help vaccinate our community,” said Joe Russell, health officer of the Flathead City-County Health Department. “These clinics were supported by the tireless efforts of health department staff, Logan Health staff, and many volunteers. Thank you to everyone who helped make these clinics a success.”
