Public health officials in Helena are urging parents to schedule COVID-19 vaccine appointments for their teens before school starts. State education officials say parents know what’s best for their kids.
According to Lewis and Clark County Public Health, 30% of teenagers living in the area are fully vaccinated. About 36% are partially vaccinated.
Drenda Niemann, Lewis and Clark County’s public health officer, says those numbers aren’t as high as she’d like.
“We want them to go back to school. We want them to not be disrupted again like they were last year and the best way to do that is to follow the CDC guidelines and to get vaccinated,” she says.
