LCPH vaccination clinics at fairgrounds now include surrounding counties, vaccine team consolidates clinic dates

Helena – Lewis and Clark Public Health has expanded our drive-thru mass vaccination clinics at the Fairgrounds to include individuals age 16 and older in four neighboring counties.

The decision to include our surrounding counties stems from a need to better streamline processes and ensure efficient use of vaccine supply.

Effective immediately, all residents age 16 and older from Broadwater, Jefferson, Powell, and Meagher counties can attend any LCPH clinic at the Fairgrounds. All clinics remain open to residents of Lewis and Clark County.

All individuals age 16 or 17 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Please note, only those age 18+ can attend Johnson & Johnson and Moderna vaccine clinics.

An appointment is required to attend any of the drive-thru clinics, and can be made at any time at on LCPH's COVID-19 HUB at https://www.helenamontanamaps.org/LCPHCovid19HUB/ or by calling our COVID-19 Hotline at 833-829-9219. Proof of age and address will be required.

In addition to opening clinics to neighboring counties, the last two weeks of appointment dates are now closed to new bookings. Any individuals who booked appointments for May 4th or 5th or May 11th or 12th will be called and offered alternative options. The closure of these clinics will affect 45 community members.

The final first-dose Pfizer clinic at the Fairgrounds will take place at on April 28. After that date, the clinics will continue to operate until all second dose clinics are completed on May 19. While the drive-thru mass vaccination clinics at the Fairgrounds will be closing, there will be many other ways for residents to get the COVID-19 vaccine including local pharmacies, community health centers and local hospitals.

In addition, following the closure of the drive-thru clinic at the Fairground, the Vaccine Team will pivot to smaller, location-based pop-up clinics in the community.
