Last week, the Cherokee Nation and Muscogee (Creek) Nation announced they would be opening up COVID-19 vaccination appointments to any Native person aged 16 and older. In a similar move, Osage Nation announced they would begin allowing Native individuals aged 18 and older to get vaccinated.
“From the beginning our goal has been to provide the vaccine to everyone in our communities,” said Cherokee Nation Health Services Executive Director Dr. R. Stephen Jones. “We now have the allocations of vaccine that give us the ability to accomplish this and we couldn’t be happier.”
Indian Health Service clinics in both Oklahoma and Kansas have also lowered the vaccination age to 16 years and older, except for sites in Claremore and Wewoka where the age has been lowered to 18 and older. Non-Native household members and caregivers are included in those eligible.
McIntosh is the son of Peggy McGuire who has been missing since 2015, FOX 23 reported. Authorities said Ethan was found uninjured about 20 miles from where he went missing. Reports suggest Peggy disappeared from the same area in Stidham back in November 2015. Peggy was last seen on November 16, 2005, after dropping her son at school, according to the Oklahoma Bureau of Investigation. She talked on the phone with her father at 8.15 am on her way home, about fixing the deck for her house and she was supposed to meet her mother, Betty Davis, at a basketball game that evening.
Patrick Williams, the K9 officer who was a part of the group that found McIntosh, said they were able to track his footprints to an area 20 miles from where he was last seen. He was wet. It was cold last night, Williams said of McIntosh, who was transported to a local hospital after being found.
