Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 Vaccine Now Available

Unified Health Command of Dawson County which includes Dawson County Health Department (DCHD) and Glendive Medical Center (GMC) announced today they now have the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. This vaccine is a “once and done” one shot dose. The Moderna vaccine is also available and requires two doses given within 28 days of each other. Up until this week, Moderna was the only vaccine available to individuals in Dawson County. Anyone wishing to receive either of these vaccines will need to call Dawson County Health Department to make an appointment for their vaccination at 406-377-5213. A clinic is scheduled for Friday, March 19^th. Appointments are being scheduled through DCHD while all vaccinations are being administered at GMC Carney Center. If an individual has already been fully vaccinated, they will not need to receive another vaccine. Both vaccines work to prevent serious illness and hospitalization.
