How this Native American tribe fully vaccinated 98% of its citizens Erik Ortiz © Provided by NBC News The darkest days of the pandemic stretched through the fall, when ambulances were frequently called to transport tribal members of the Blackfeet Nation, whose lands border the snow-capped mountains of Glacier National Park in northern Montana, to hospitals two hours away. While about 10,000 people live on the tribe s sprawling reservation, which is larger than the state of Delaware, the effects of the coronavirus were acute: Tribal health officials recorded more than 1,390 cases of Covid-19, including nearly 50 deaths. But now, the tribe is boasting a remarkable feat in its fight against the virus: Roughly 98 percent of the reservation s eligible population has been fully vaccinated against the disease, compared to about 40 percent of Montana s total population and 41 percent of the U.S. population, according to the latest federal health data.
