Vaccine Updates: 

Fergus County Nurses Office is pleased to announce they are scheduling COVID-19 vaccines to those individuals eligible for Phase 1A, 1B and 1B+.  To find out if you qualify click (here). To schedule please use the online scheduling option, mtreadyclinic.org, search by  zip code - 59457 or choose location - Fergus County.  From there it will go through appointment times and personal demographic information.  Please fill out as much as possible, as this will help to reduce time during the clinic. Once you choose an appointment time you have 15 minutes to complete form, if not completed it will reopen for another to take appointment time.  Have insurance information ready to enter.  If you are unable to go online, you may call our Fergus County Nurses Office at 535-7433, but please be patient as we are still holding clinics in our office and have limited staff to answer phone calls. No walk-ins for scheduling will be taken. If no clinics are available, please continue to check back as additional clinics are added regularly.  Again to use the online scheduling option, visit mtreadyclinic.org.

Central MT Health Distict 

Fergus County Nurse's Office provides our communities with protection from diseases through immunization services. Vaccines help prevent diseases that used to be the top killer of children in this country. Maintaining high rates of childhood immunizations protects not only vaccinated children, but also those too young or too ill to have completed their full series of immunizations. A reduction in immunization rates inevitably results in an increase in disease. Therefore, immunizations are crucial to the health and safety of the community at large. FCNO conducts school and daycare immunization record reviews to ensure compliance with the State of Montana immunization laws. FCNO offers traveling and school based immunization clinics for children and adults. Check out our Facebook page as well - Fergus County Nurses Office

Immunization Laws

Montana has enacted laws that require children to have certain immunizations before entering school or day care.

  • School Requirements - In order to be enrolled in school, children must have the required vaccines by age. See below link for a list of required vaccines. 

  MT Immunization requirements for school

  • Day Care Requirements- Immunization requirements for day care attendance are based on the child's age and generally follow the recommended childhood schedule.

  MT Immunization requirements for daycare

  • Thanks to state laws, the availability of low-cost vaccines and the cooperation of parents, Montana ranks among the best in the nation for childhood immunization rates. In most years, 90% of Montana's three year-olds had completed their primary series of vaccinations.
