Missoula Public Health is hosting a series of vaccine clinics in Missoula and surrounding towns like Seeley Lake and Frenchtown ahead of the flu season.
The city-county health department said the COVID-19 and flu vaccine clinics will operate on a first-come, first-served basis, according to a Tuesday press release.
Attendees should bring a photo ID and an insurance card, although Missoula Public Health said people without insurance can get a vaccine at most of the clinics for free.
The health department is partnering with the Caring Foundation of Montana and its Car Van Program to administer the vaccines at no cost, which the health department credited to several funding sources, including Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Montana.
Missoula Public Health will host the following clinics:
Clinton: Oct. 1, 3 p.m. – 6 p.m., Clinton School
Condon: Oct. 9, 10:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m., Swan Valley Elementary

The University of Montana Health and Wellness fair on Oct. 25 will not offer free immunizations, but instead have a sliding scale for payment, according to the release.
The health department said its main immunization clinic at 301 W. Alder St. will remain open during the traveling clinics. For more information, the health department said to visit missoulapublichealth.org or call 406-258-3363.
