The state COVID-19 vaccine dashboard has been updated to include the newly eligible 5 to 11-year-old age group. This update adjusts the percentage of Montanans fully vaccinated against COVID-19 to 50%. The county percentages on the map have also been revised.

The total number of Montanans now eligible for vaccination is 1,020,663, which includes 90,769 children aged 5 to 11. The Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS) continues to produce a detailed report featuring a county-by-county breakdown of those fully vaccinated by age group. This report will be updated later this week.

Additionally, the weekly COVID-19 update report provides further vaccine information, including the number of third doses administered. The next weekly report will be available online later this week.

DPHHS encourages all eligible residents in Montana to get vaccinated. For information on nearby vaccine locations, individuals can text their zip code to GETVAX (438829).
