Measles is an extremely infectious illness.

While we try our best to stay out of politics, we wanted our patients to know about an important issue. There is a bill, House Bill 371, currently being scheduled for debate in the Montana House that would prohibit healthcare providers from giving mRNA vaccines (currently Pfizer and Moderna Covid 19 vaccines, but more typs of vaccines in the future) in this state. This bill encourages the Board of Medicine to consider revoking our licenses to practice should we give the vaccines. We believe patients have a right to choose whether to get any treatment, including vaccines. We also feel strongly that healthcare providers have a DUTY to recommend evidence based care. There is strong evidence that this technology is safe and effective. If this bill were to become law, it would impact medical care for years in this state. Healthcare providers will stop practicing medicine in Montana and we will never be able to attract new graduates to this state. If you feel as we do, please consider going to legmt.gov and message your representatives! We would encourage you to message ALL Ravalli County representatives! Thank you for your time.
