Are the DDD Caregivers required to be tested for Covid-19? Conidered essential?

Chinle IHS has been in Phase 2 for about a month now. If I remember correctly.

Some of my family members had to get their PIMC charts reactivated. It was done over the phone. But long wait on phone.

Yes, Arizona tribal nations have the opportunity to choose whether to distribute vaccinations via IHS/638 programs or via the State. Three tribes have chosen the state, while the others are utilizing their IHS/638 facilities to develop prioritizations and distributions independent of the state schedule.

Gila River Indian Community (GRIC) enrolled tribal members (living on or off the reservation) who are 18 years old or older and any Native Americans living in the Gila River Indian Community who are 18 years old or older can obtain a vaccine from Gila River.

Thanks everyone!

Thank you for your comments and questions Alida, Freida, and Rick! Any other questions, please submit them here in the chat. We will address them at the end of the presentation today.

FYI Mercy Care and United Health Care also have Tribal Liaisons.

ACC process for AIHP members remain the same.

AHCCCS DFSM hasn't heard any concerns from members regarding the integration. We've been doing a round of community forums and talking about this initiative for the past 9 months.

Current DDD AIHP members are encouraged to provide feedback to the division. The DDD Tribal Liaison is tracking this and contact information is listed at the end of this presentation.

No problem

Could you please tell me where I could find the Covid Guidance Document for those in congregate care? Thank you!
