\u201cWe\u2019ve overcome a lot of adversity and challenges caused by COVID-19 and we continue to persevere and move forward. Just as we are taught as Navajo people to follow the teachings of our elders, we must continue to listen to the public health experts who have guided us this far. We need to continue to encourage our loved ones to get vaccinated and get a booster shot if they haven\u2019t already. Vaccines and masks are critical to reducing the spread and severity of COVID-19 in our communities. Please continue to be safe and pray 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

\u201cIf you are feeling sick, please do not visit family in-person or attend in-person meetings or gatherings. We know how to protect ourselves and others. We need to be responsible for our loved ones and take precautions as we move forward,\u201d said Vice President Myron Lizer.<\/p>\n
