What to expect and how can members get more information:
COVID -19 vaccine arrived to KTHFS the afternoon of 12/22 , and vaccination of front line health care workers has begun to ensure health care can continue to be provided to the members of the Klamath Tribes as the COVID-19 pandemic continues. Initial doses are being prioritized to high risk tribal members , and more vaccine is anticipated to be arriving within the next week.
When the health care team received the first doses of vaccine today, they did this as a team , no one went first. Klamath Tribal Health and the Klamath Tribes have faced the COVID pandemic together, and will continue to do this together- and in this case, we even vaccinated together.
The medical team believes in the safety of this vaccine, and will be giving out information on facts vs. Myths about the vaccine. We will share more information soon.
