It is ultimately our personal responsibility to adhere to their guidance to help lessen the spread of COVID-19 in our homes and communities. We are in this together and we will continue to work together with our public health experts and to support our frontline warriors who are helping our people. Please take precautions and continue to protect yourselves and others, especially in public places this holiday weekend,” said Navajo Nation President Jonathan Nez.
Health care facilities on the Navajo Nation continue to administer COVID-19 vaccines. If you would like to receive one of the COVID-19 vaccines, please contact your health care provider and schedule an appointment.
“Through the support and strength of our family members and friends, we continue to persevere through this pandemic. Please continue to be safe and please keep praying for our people, frontline workers, and those who are sick with the virus at this moment,” said Vice President Myron Lizer.
