KALISPELL — Mass COVID-19 vaccine clinics are coming to a close in Flathead County with the last one scheduled on Feb. 1.

Large-scale vaccine clinics put on at the Flathead County Fairgrounds will continue each Tuesday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. for the next three weeks.

Flathead County Health Officer Joe Russell said the COVID-19 vaccine will still be available after Feb. 1 by appointment only at the health department office as well as at local pharmacies and healthcare providers.

“We’re running 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Tuesday’s there, we’re doing pediatric clinics in the health department Wednesday afternoon’s, we have walk-in capabilities at both clinics so, if people just want the convenience of walking in and getting in and out, our clinics are available,” Russell told MTN News.
