COVID-19 Vaccine Information

COVID-19 Vaccine Information

The vaccines are a safe, effective and important tool in helping us protect ourselves and others from COVID-19. They help prevent infection and the spread of the illness. If breakthrough infection occurs, they can lessen how contagious a person is and greatly reduce the severity of symptoms and the chance of hospitalization related to COVID.

Vaccine availability – Due to inconsistent supply, Billings Clinic is not able to offer the COVID-19 vaccine on a consistent basis at this time. To find the vaccination opportunity closest to you, please visit www.vaccines.gov.
Youth vaccinations – The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has recommended the use of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine for everyone, opening up its use for more youth.
Vaccination information - What you need to know

The COVID-19 vaccine is a safe and important tool in bringing this pandemic to an end, and Billings Clinic encourages people to receive it when they are eligible. We are following state and federal guidance in the distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine in conjunction with The Unified Health Command (UHC), made up of Billings Clinic, St. Vincent Healthcare, RiverStone Health and Yellowstone County Disaster and Emergency Services.

Vaccine History

It might seem like the COVID-19 vaccine was developed and rolled out quickly, but it's actually the result of decades of work that was underway long before COVID-19. Much of the work was already done, which was applied to the development of the safe and effective vaccines we have today.
