\u201cThe strength and resilience of our elders remain within each of us, as Navajo people, to this day. That strength is what continues to carry us through this COVID-19 pandemic along with the love and support of others. Now, we have one confirmed case of Monkeypox on the NavajoNation and we have to continue to keep our guard up and take precautions. Please be safe and keep praying for our frontline warriors who continue to fight for us each day, and for 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

\u201cIf you or someone in your household feels sick or has symptoms related to COVID-19, you are strongly urged to isolate and get tested as soon as possible. We all have to do our part to lessen the spread of COVID-19 in our homes and communities. Please be safe and continue to pray for our Nation,\u201d said Vice President Myron Lizer.<\/p>\n
