A medical professional administers a COVID-19 vaccine on Feb 13, 2021.
While not explicitly stated in Montana’s COVID-19 vaccine distribution plan, the state health department says pregnancy is a major medical condition that may qualify someone for a shot under the current phase.
Elle Ruis, a seventh grade math teacher at Kalispell Middle School, says she has wanted to get a COVID-19 vaccine as they’ve become more available.
“I just feel like in my job, I’m really exposed constantly to tons and tons of people and at a high risk of catching COVID,” Ruis says.
Ruis says she’s excited to get her first shot in the arm this week through the Federal Retail Pharmacy Program, which offers vaccines to school and child care workers regardless of state distribution plans.

A year into the pandemic, I m still experiencing rather regular harassment, said Sara Cody, MD, public health director in Santa Clara, California, where some of the first coronavirus cases in the U.S. were diagnosed. People [are] coming to protest at my home, [there are] letters written in the paper, [and they are sending] emails that are way outside the norm of what we could consider normal discourse and differences of opinion.
