Following these everyday safety tips can reduce your chances of contracting COVID-19, or any other illnesses, such as Monkeypox. Let\u2019s do our part to keep our nation strong and well, and we will get through this pandemic together,\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 feel sick or have symptoms related to COVID-19, we kindly ask that you isolate at home and get necessary treatment if symptoms worsen.
