Data collected by the CDC shows that Native Americans are 24% more likely to be fully vaccinated than white Americans. Conspiracy theories and divisive politics have not gained strong hold in native communities as indigenous Americans look to their own histories when making decisions about vaccination against the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Despite a lack of access to healthcare and healthcare facilities, native organizations and tribal governments have worked tirelessly to assure that tribal members understand the positive outcomes of vaccination.
