Missoula May Remove Mask Mandate if Residents Get Vaccinated If 60 percent of the county’s residents get at least one dose by May 11, public health officials will change the mask mandate to a recommendation. If COVID numbers worsen, the county will reinstate the mandate. Jordan Hansen, Missoulian | April 16, 2021 | News
(TNS) The Missoula, Mont., County Board of Health adopted several resolutions on Thursday, including one to possibly remove the mask mandate.
If 60 percent of the Missoula County population has had at least one dose by May 11, the mask mandate will become a recommendation.
And most COVID-19 mandates for businesses, bars, restaurants, barbers and gyms would become recommendations, not requirements.
Montana counties pausing use of J&J vaccine

HELENA, Mont. (AP) The federally recommended pause in administering the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccination led to the cancellation of clinics at two colleges in Billings on Tuesday while a clinic at the Missoula County Fairgrounds continued with the Moderna vaccine instead, officials said.
About 140 people had signed up for the clinics at Montana State University-Billings and Rocky Mountain College, said Pat Zellar with the Yellowstone County health department.
The single-shot vaccine was offered at the colleges because the semester ends later this month. It was intended to allow students to be fully vaccinated before going home for the summer, Zellar said. Students are still able to get the first dose of a two-dose vaccine at county clinics.
