BUTTE â Health officials in Butte will continue their vaccination clinics each Wednesday even though they re not certain how many vaccines will be available.
âRight now the demand is very high and the supply isnât quite high enough yet, itâs getting there, weâre still getting the vaccine every week, weâre just not sure how many vaccines until probably Monday,â said Butte Health Department Operations Director Diane Regan.
