HELENA (AP) — Educators in Montana will begin receiving COVID-19 vaccines this week through a federal partnership with pharmacies, local health officials confirmed..
President Joe Biden announced the program earlier last week, with the goal of vaccinating all teachers and child care staff by the end of March.
The federal vaccine program is open to Montana educators even as the state has not made its vaccine allotment available to teachers. Montana was one of at least a dozen states that had not prioritized teachers as of Biden’s announcement.
