City of Missoula Communications Director Ginny Merriam was on Talk Back on Friday to explain the operation that will go into effect in earnest on Monday.
“I m talking to Missoula county residents,” said Merriam. “People probably know that the vaccine is being distributed from the state to the county. We ve got 56 counties, each getting their allotment, and then each has to manage that allotment. Last week at the request of Mayor Engen and the County Commissioners we formed a vaccine distribution Task Force. I am part of that as a public information person.”
