U.S. Surgeon General Vice Adm. Jerome Adams said Thursday that Montanans need to continue taking the pandemic seriously in preparation for the vaccine rollout. “Just because the cavalry is coming, that doesn’t mean you just open the gates, lie down and let the enemy attack you,” Adams said while at a press conference in Helena with Gov.
