This increase demonstrates the high level of contagiousness of the Omicron variant from person to person. On the upside, the high vaccination rate among our Navajo people is making the difference when it comes to maintaining our health system and not overwhelming our hospital bed capacity on the NavajoNation. The COVID-19 vaccines are highly effective in reducing COVID-19 symptoms and saving lives. Please get vaccinated, get a booster shot, wear two masks in public, do not attend in-person family gatherings where people tend to let their guard down, and keep praying for our frontline warriors and all of our people,\u201d said Navajo Nation President Jonathan Nez.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n “If you experience symptoms related to COVID-19 such as coughing, sore throat, fever, or body aches, please do your best to quarantine and get tested as quickly as possible. If you are sick, please do not go into public, do not go into work in-person, and do your best to isolate. We are in this together and we have to keep pushing back on COVID-19,” said Vice President Myron Lizer. <\/p>\n
