Native America Calling: COVID-19 vaccine progress and lapses
Tuesday, August 10, 2021
A report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found Native Americans are vaccinated at a higher rate than the rest of the population. Many tribes are success stories for getting COVID-19 under control.
At the same time, persistent distrust and misinformation has taken hold in parts of the country, many of which are seeing new spikes in infections.
Native America Calling will get updates on vaccine progress and stumbles and get a glimpse of a documentary that puts the COVID-19 vaccine in context with similar efforts throughout history.
