Listen to an audio version of this story. The Indian Health Service has delivered coronavirus vaccine doses to the most far-flung corners of the country. From remote villages in Alaska to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, Indigenous Americans as young as 16 have had access to the shot for weeks. But some urban Native people haven t been so lucky. Count 55-year-old Jonathan Concha of Albuquerque among them. For the most part, everybody else in my family has been vaccinated already. So, I m the last one, he said just after receiving his first shot in mid-March. Concha scored a spot at a mass-vaccination event co-hosted by New Mexico s Indian Affairs Department, Albuquerque s urban Indian health clinic, and several other partners .
