The Rural Institute and Montana Aging and Disability Partners Work Together to Share COVID-19 Information

February 8, 2023
The Administration on Community Living (ACL) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are funding local trusted disability and aging partners to build vaccine confidence.
In Montana, ACL/CDC funding supports the Rural Institute for Inclusive Communities, the Montana Developmental Disabilities Council, Disability Rights Montana, Montana Centers for Independent Living, Area Agencies on Aging, and Aging and Disability Resource Centers, MonTech—Montana’s Assistive Technology Program, and the Brain Injury Alliance of Montana. These funded partners are coordinating activities to connect people with disabilities and older adults to vaccination resources.
The COVID-19 outreach partners have developed public service announcements.

To find more general COVID-19 information information, information specific to COVID-19 and disability, and vaccination resources, visit our COVID-19 Resources for People with Disabilities page.
