Navajo Nation Continues Vaccination Efforts, Marks 1,000 Deaths
Navajo Nation officials say 1,000 people on the reservation have officially died from COVID-19 complications since the start of the pandemic. President Jonathan Nez encouraged residents to continue practicing mitigation strategies in reverence of those who died.
“We can all do our part to honor their memory and to prevent more deaths by keeping our guard up and taking all precautions to rescue the number of cases,” Nez said in a statement.
The report comes as healthcare workers prepare to distribute vaccines at the Tséhootsooí and Gallup Indian Medical Centers over the weekend on a first-come, first-serve basis for eligible residents. Officials say they’ll announce more weekend vaccination events at a later time.

But the question that seems to still remain unanswered is how many people will be allowed inside the building this weekend?
