SGCETC Vaccine Informational Toolkit for Tribal Governments: How The COVID-19 Vaccines Work

How COVID-19 Vaccines Protect Tribal Communities

This SGCETC Vaccine Informational Toolkit explains how COVID-19 vaccines work, their safety, and their importance in protecting tribal communities. The guide highlights the three FDA-authorized vaccines (Moderna, Pfizer, and Johnson & Johnson), how they train the immune system to fight the virus, and why two-dose schedules are required for some. It also emphasizes the continued need for masking and distancing until herd immunity is achieved. The resource serves as an educational tool for tribal governments and communities to make informed vaccine decisions.
