The Navajo Department of Health has implemented many public health emergency orders, but the trend in new cases, hospitalizations, and deaths ultimately comes down to the individual choices we make each day. So, please make the right choices for yourself, your family, friends, and everyone in your community. Get vaccinated, get a booster shot, wear two masks in public, limit travel, avoid in-person gatherings, practice social distancing, and stay home as much as possible,” said Navajo Nation President Jonathan Nez.<\/p>\n Health care facilities 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.<\/p>\n \u201cWe all have a responsibility to protect ourselves and our loved ones from all dangers including COVID-19. Thanks to our health care workers, we know what we have to do to keep ourselves safe and healthy. Please be safe, continue to pray for our people, and continue to support one another,\u201d said Vice President Myron Lizer. <\/p>\n
