\u201cEach of us as Navajo people come from a line of strong ancestors that overcame many challenges, some far more challenging than this COVID-19 pandemic. We have to remember that as we continue to push back on this virus each day. Our health care experts have given us the tools we need to fight back and those are our face masks, vaccines, and the guidelines they provide for us. Please be very cautious in public places and continue to pray for our frontline warriors and all of our Navajo 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

\u201cPrayers combined with our actions will protect us from the virus, as long as we are careful and take precautions. Together, we will continue to fight back against COVID-19 but it takes all of us doing our part to protect ourselves and our loved ones,\u201d said Vice President Myron Lizer.<\/p>\n
