Across the Indian health system, we continue to work in close partnership to prevent, detect, treat and recover from COVID-19. We are working diligently to distribute new vaccines that can help protect individuals from COVID-19. In the first two weeks of vaccine distribution, 85,000 doses have been distributed through the Indian Health Service to federal, tribal and urban Indian health programs. This is a great start, but it will take time to deliver and administer the vaccine to everyone who needs it.
