Pediatric COVID Vaccines Now Available for Kids 5+ and
Coming Soon: Boosters for All


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, Leah and Antony discuss pediatric COVID vaccines
and how parents can go about getting their young ones vaccinated,
as children who are ages 5 and up are now eligible.  We also
discuss the recent surge of COVID in our region and how Minnesota
Health Officials are preparing to recommend booster shots for all
vaccinated adults. 


KBFT Producer Chaz Wagner (Bois Forte Ojibwe) catches up with
Daniel Frye (Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians), the
Director of Indian Health Services in the Bemidji Area. Daniel
shares how tribes are faring at this point in the pandemic, as
many wrestle with the question of vaccine mandates, and the
future of Indian Health Care. 


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