The IHS encourages COVID-19 vaccines for American Indian and Alaska Native children

The cumulative rate of “COVID-19”-related hospitalizations and risk-of-death for American Indian and Alaska Native communities remains the highest among all racial- and ethnic-groups in the U-S—regardless of age. That’s why the “Indian Health Service” urges all parents to get “COVID-19”-vaccinations for their children who are at least six months old. Doctor Loretta Christensen is its chief medical-officer—and a member of the Navajo Tribe… “All available ‘COVID-19’-vaccines have been shown to be safe and effective in medical studies. We also now have reassuring information after administering hundreds-of-millions of doses, throughout the United States—including over one-point-five-million doses already given in American Indian and Alaska Native communities. However, ‘COVID-19’-measures may have also caused children to fall behind on their vaccination-schedule to prevent other diseases—such as chickenpox, measles, and polio. As the children return to school and other in-person activities this fall, it is very important to get all of their vaccinations back on track—to keep our children safe.” To learn more, contact your local “I-H-S”, tribal, or urban-Indian facility—or visit “vaccines”-dot-gov.
