From the Introduction: "The Montana COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] Vaccination Plan solidly outlines the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services' (DPHHS) procedures used to guarantee accurate supply management and distribution of COVID-19 vaccine within the State. This document defines the necessary activities to initiate and sustain a mass vaccination campaign, including: 1) Coordinate tracking, reporting, and ordering vaccine and ancillary supplies; 2) Ensure the timely and equitable distribution of vaccine and ancillary supplies to providers; 3) Define roles and responsibilities; and 4) Communicate timely and accurate information about the COVID-19 vaccine including safety, availability, training, regulations, efficacy, and urgency. Montana, as a decentralized government, fosters collaborative partnerships with counties, tribes, non-profit organizations, healthcare entities, and private businesses to facilitate this plan and serve its people. The strategic framework guiding DPHHS's response to the COVID-19 pandemic envelops the processes and procedures described here and allows flexibility to adjust if necessary."
