Tribal officials asked the company to go through its media team, meet face-to-face or arrange an online video meeting, Hualapai Chairman Damon Clarke said. The small community of 2,300 registered members was fearful of becoming mere test subjects in a larger experiment.
In the end, Moderna representatives did nothing outside of email and, with so little information and no trusted relationship with the company, Clarke said Hualapai leaders declined to participate.

The conversations always start with a basic question: “Tell me about yourself.” She wants to know her clients before she figures out how she can help.
“Sometimes a patient just needs somebody to listen to them, so you just listen,” said Garfield, 52.
