This Saturday, October 24 from 11am-3pm, we will be at the Butte Civic Center offering drive-thru flu vaccines AND taking drop-offs of unused/expired prescription medications in partnership with the Butte-Silver Bow Law Enforcement Department.

Beginning Friday, October 23, 2026, our official website will move to a new .gov address.
Our new official website:
https://www.bsbmt.gov/
Our current website:
https://www.co.silverbow.mt.us/

Why are we moving to .gov?

The .gov domain is reserved for verified government organizations in the United States. This makes it easier for the public to recognize legitimate government websites and helps protect against impersonation.

The new address is also shorter, easier to remember, and better represents Butte-Silver Bow as an official local government organization.

The best time to get your seasonal vaccines is before the end of October, so your immune system can learn to resist new virus strains before they spread widely throughout the community. Call us to make an appointment, or walk-in 9am-4pm, Monday-Thursday and 9am-12pm on Fridays. Flu and Covid vaccines are all low or NO cost!
