The Indian Health Service facility in Wagner has gained attention due to their high vaccination rate which brought acting IHS Director Elizabeth Fowler to make Wagner her first stop Thursday. Fowler wanted to see firsthand the work that IHS employees are doing to support community immunity from a deadly virus that has taken more than 600,000 lives across the United States. The visit was to show support for President Biden’s Month of Action. The focus this month is on actions to make it easier to get vaccinated, mobilize the country around vaccine outreach and education efforts and incentive vaccination. The National Month of Action mobilizes an all-of-American sprint to get as many U.S. adults as possible to get at least one shot by July 4th, so that more people can get the protection they need to be safe from the pandemic.
