Fully Vaccinated Percentage Updated To Reflect Younger Population

The state’s COVID-19 vaccine dashboard has been updated to reflect the addition of the newly added 5 to 11-year-old age group now eligible to be vaccinated.

As a result, the eligible population percentage of Montanans fully vaccinated against COVID-19 has been updated to 50 percent. In addition, the county percentages on the map have been adjusted accordingly as well.

The total number of Montanans now eligible for the vaccine is 1,020,663, including 90,769 children ages 5-11.

In addition to the state dashboard, DPHHS continues to produce a Percent of Eligible Montanans Fully Vaccinated report featuring a county-by-county breakdown of those fully vaccinated by age group. This report will be updated later this week.

Also, the weekly COVID-19 update report provides even more vaccine information, such as the number of third doses that have been administered. The next weekly report will be updated and available online later this week.

DPHHS encourages all eligible Montanans to get vaccinated. For the nearest vaccine location, text your zip code to GETVAX (438829).
