Wisconsin s Indigenous population was hit hard by the pandemic: What we can learn from their vaccine rollout | 97 Seven Country WGLR - The Tri-States Best Variety of Country

By Christina Lorey Apr 28, 2021 | 5:49 PM MADISON, Wis.– Native American communities were among the first and hardest hit by COVID-19 when the pandemic began. Tribes including Navajo Nation, the largest Native American reservation, had some of the country’s highest per-capita death rates in 2020. What a difference a year makes. Now, the territory is leading the nation in vaccination rates and could be among the first in the U.S. to achieve herd immunity. Wisconsin-based tribes aren’t nearing that milestone just yet, but there is something we can all learn from their vaccine distribution efforts done right. Since the pandemic started, members of Wisconsin’s Indigenous groups are 1.5 times more likely to die from COVID. Tribe members say it’s that fear, coupled with a community-first focus, that’s led to a successful vaccine rollout so far.

Since the pandemic started, members of Wisconsin’s Indigenous groups are 1.5 times more likely to die from COVID. Tribe members say it’s that fear, coupled with a community-first focus, that’s led to a successful vaccine rollout so far. “If there are people talking about the vaccine within your community and giving you their trust, you’re more likely to get it,” explained Dr. Patricia Tellez-Giron, UW Health’s Department of Family Medicine and Community Health Chair.
