As Yellowstone National Park prepares to open for the season, steps are being taken to assure staff and visitors are protected against the COVID-19 virus.
In partnership with surrounding counties, states, and Medcor, Yellowstone has vaccinated hundreds of frontline team members, and has set a goal to offer vaccinations to all employees this spring, including the seasonal and volunteer workforce.
As in 2020, the park is developing a summer operating plan with its partners and stakeholders. The plan will likely increase facilities and operations compared with those in 2020, but will remain flexible and be guided by recommendations from public health professionals. The plan will also adapt to conditions in the park and in surrounding states and counties.
