Originally published on December 14, 2020 8:05 am These last few days have been chaotic at the Nimiipuu Health Clinic on the Nez Perce Reservation in Idaho. The director, Dr. R. Kim Hartwig, is trying to manage testing and treating patients for COVID- 19 and other diseases, while also racing to get a plan in place to distribute a vaccine. It s not something that we have a timeline [for], it s like, I got a call and was told, You re gonna get a vaccine in two weeks, get a plan together, she says. Only a handful of Hartwig s frontline workers are expected to get the initial Pfizer vaccine because the tribe doesn t have the special refrigeration and storage it requires. But she s OK with waiting a few more weeks for the expected second Moderna vaccine that won t need that. It s a feat in and of itself to be getting a vaccine this fast to rural Lapwai, Idaho, population 1,000.
