Tribe Makes COVID-19 Vaccination Available to MCA District Elders
Mar 4, 2021
AKWESASNE — The Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe announced today that beginning the week of March 8th, Moderna vaccinations will be available to community elders age 65 and over residing within MCA jurisdiction.
“Community health is our top priority and we are fortunate to have been able to vaccinate almost 2,700 tribal members to date. Any elder within tribal jurisdiction who has requested a vaccine has received it” expressed Tribal Council.
“The Canadian government has had difficulties with their vaccine roll out and this has been a shared concern. This step prioritizes elders residing within MCA jurisdiction and we are happy to know that this contribution will allow MCA to stretch the vaccines they do receive in order to help more of our relatives in the MCA jurisdiction.” Tribal Council continued.
Further information regarding the vaccine registration process for district residents will be provided by MCA in the coming days. Tribal members residing within the Tribe’s jurisdiction may continue to pre-register for vaccination by calling SRMT Health Services at (518) 333-0230.
