Please, get vaccinated

| August 18, 2021 1:00 AM

Covid-19 infections in the Flathead have rapidly increased over the past month, and we’ve seen a steady increase in hospitalized Covid patients. Vaccination rates in our county remain dangerously low and fewer than 40% of us are vaccinated. As the number of Covid patients increase, our resources are stretched. In particular we see needless and preventable illness and death occurring in unvaccinated patients.

We, the doctors and advanced practice clinicians of Logan Health, urge you to get vaccinated against this deadly virus. The science is clear; COVID vaccines are safe and effective. Vaccination prevents hospitalization and death. The vaccine is free and widely available. We strongly urge all Flathead residents to get vaccinated as soon as possible. We want to see you on the trails, at community events and in our schools, rather than in our hospital.

Let’s end this pandemic together.
