The BC Assembly of First Nations has launched a campaign called “Protecting Our People” to reduce vaccine hesitancy among the Indigenous population.
As vaccines continue to roll out across the province, there are some Indigenous people who remain on the fence.
Regional Chief Terry Teegee told Vista Radio the issue runs a lot further than the pandemic.
“I think it stems from a long history of mistrust in the health care system and quite simply, the vaccines have been rigorously tested and are safe to take.”
