The state unveiled a COVID-19 vaccine distribution dashboard Monday that tracks each county’s immunization progress.

Gallatin County will start vaccinating people who fall into the next phase of the immunization plan next week.

Gallatin County is gearing up to expand vaccinations from frontline health care workers to adults over 80, as well as Native Americans and other people of color.

As Montana State University students returned to classes this week, novel coronavirus cases are remaining at a significant level in Gallatin County.
