County health office describes vaccine-clinic partnerships and donated supplies
Summary
Presenter said the office donated excess sterile needles collected during COVID to RHCC, supplied vaccines to partner clinics in Colstrip, and provided LED signs and portable coolers to support local clinic operations.
Presenter said Rosebud County public-health staff have been working closely with RHCC and Colstrip Medical Center to run vaccine clinics the county could not staff. She said the office received an "abundance of needles after COVID," that the needles were sterile and were given to RHCC, and that the county provided COVID vaccines to the clinic in Colstrip to support clinic capacity.
The presenter also described in-kind support to partner clinics — LED signs and a portable cooler among other items — and framed these efforts as routine collaboration to ensure community vaccination access. She noted the county holds multiple clinic events each season and that staff help run clinics at assisted-living facilities, senior centers and banks as needed.
