Wewoka, Okla. (March 18, 2021) - Seminole Nation Chief Greg P. Chilcoat issued the following statement today relating to the United States Indian Health Services dissemination of Covid-19 Vaccines.

"The United States Indian Health Service is the entity in charge of administering Covid-19 vaccinations to the Seminole Nation, and it is the Nation's understanding that such vaccine dissemination is being administered entirely consistent with federal law and policy in providing such vaccinations.
