A recent pop-up clinic intended to encourage hesitant veterans to get vaccinated against COVID-19 reflects dwindling demand for the shot in Montana.
Nurse Tina Arvish sits behind a table at a temporary COVID-19 vaccine clinic tucked away from the bustle of a recent American Legion conference in Helena.
“We have two nurses stations where we’re able to give injections simultaneously,” Arvish says.
The Montana Veterans Affairs Health Care System is trying to make the vaccine accessible for hesitant veterans who may not want to schedule a dedicated hospital visit.
“Give them a card, have them all set up and educated and away they go,” Arvish says.
