MISSOULA — Friday afternoon will mark another chance for residents to sign up for a public COVID-19 vaccine clinic in Missoula.
Appointments for approximately 1,500 first-dose COVID-19 vaccines will be available for Missoula County residents ages 16 and older starting at 1 p.m. on Friday.
The links to make appointments will be available here. Those without Internet access or who are not proficient online can call 406-258-INFO, option 3, to schedule an appointment starting at 1 p.m.
Organizers are asking that request that people who have the ability to schedule online make an appointment on the website instead of calling so the call center can help those most in need of assistance.
Patients who book appointments for the following clinics are committing to a second-dose appointment exactly 21 days later (Pfizer) or 28 days later (Moderna) from the date of their first dose, at the same time as their first appointment.
Local public health officials note that providers have been experiencing an uptick in patients wanting to reschedule their second dose, which creates significant logistical issues. Patients must make sure they are free for the second dose appointment before booking their first dose. Those who need to cancel or reschedule their second appointment are not guaranteed a second dose.
