BUTTE - In order to get more people vaccinated in Butte-Silver Bow, it may be time to take the show on the road.
âWe need to make ourselves more available for folks that maybe canât get to us as easily or need to be accommodated at a different time,â said Diane Regan, operations manager for the Butte Health Department.
The health board is meeting to find creative ways to get to people, like seeking large employers and asking them if they want to hold a clinic for their employees.

BUTTE - Butte has plenty of doses but fewer people coming in to get vaccinated for COVID-19.
Its latest vaccination clinic is now open to anyone wanting a shot.
âWe have been given the ok to lift the residency restrictions, so weâre able to vaccinate people from anywhere now,â said Operations Manager Diane Regan.
While Butte has more than 34 percent of the population vaccinated, recent clinics have seen declining numbers. This is likely due to people having the option of getting vaccinated at their local pharmacy, and there are many who are resistant to getting the vaccine.
BUTTE, Mont. â The Butte-Silver Bow Health Department is having trouble filling up appointments for their COVID-19 vaccine clinic scheduled from noon to 6 p.m. on April 14.
The Wednesday clinic hours, usually 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., were changed to give younger ages from the region and working adults a better timeframe to get a vaccine.
âWe want to make sure we are getting the 16- and 17-year-olds vaccinated as soon as we can so this gives them the opportunity after school to come down with their parents and get their shots, it also is for people that might not get off work until 4 or 5 oâclock and havenât been able to get to a Wednesday clinic,â Operations Division Director Diane Regan said.Â
