Back to School Decision-Making and Preparing For A COVID Infection

Co-Hosts Leah Lemm (Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe) and Antony Stately
Ph.D. (Ojibwe/Oneida) explore how Indian Country in MN is
responding and adapting to the current pandemic health
crisis.
 
On today’s show, Antony and Leah are joined by Dr. Angela Erdrich
and Laz Carreon RN, from the Indian Health Board of Minneapolis,
for a discussion about COVID as our communities prepare for
back-to-school. We discuss vaccines for school-age children,
Paxlovid, and what to do to prepare you and your family for a
COVID infection. We also talk about making the most of your
back-to-school clinic visits, figuring out if you can take
Paxlovid for a covid infection, and the complications around
testing and COVID precautions.


Dr. Antony Stately is the CEO of the Native American Community
Clinic.
