IRVING With COVID-19 vaccinations rolling out all over the country, accessibility to the vaccine can still be an issue, especially in rural areas. Thanks to the combined efforts of Dr. Raul Vazquez, president of Buffalo’s G-Health Enterprises, and J.C. Seneca, owner of Native Pride Travel Plaza, vaccinations were made more accessible.
On Wednesday, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Native Pride Travel Plaza provided 400 vaccines for eligible individuals, including truck drivers and motorists who frequent Native Pride, as well as Natives from the Allegany and Cattaraugus Territories and residents from the surrounding communities. The push for truck stops to host vaccination centers is something Seneca is very passionate about, and hosting it at his location gives him a sense of pride.
