Short Abstract: There have been long standing differences in infectious disease mortality rates among American Indian or Alaska Native (AI/AN) persons in the United States in comparison to their white counterparts. Due to this, this report publishes findings that highlight the importance of using state-level surveillance to develop state and tribal COVID-19 vaccine allocation strategies. It also emphasizes the importance of informing local implementation of culturally appropriate public health measures that might help reduce COVID-19 incidence and mortality in AI/AN communities.
