Native American tribal health

    So I’m not really sure where to ask this question, but I am a RN who happens to be a member of a small tribe in Washington state. I know most of the tribes have either IHS (Indian health service) hospitals or clinics or (638) clinics. 638 clinics are really those tribes that are “self governed”. What most of this means is that funding comes from the federal government.

    I’m wanting to know if there are any tribal clinics that have stop the Covid vaccine injections? I know my tribe does not make it mandatory but the doctors do push it. I’m also looking for like minded people that work with the native population. Thanks Connie

    I currently live in Arizona and not working, mainly due to the mandates, since I refused the “jab”

    Just want to mention that my HMO dropped the mandate recently. Now it is considered like the flu vaccine and employee health will be asking for an exemption yearly. I would imagine most other health care systems would be following suit. In CA it happened later than Colorado/Washington, probably because of our government. LA County is ridiculous.
