Short Abstract: 

This article discusses the issues with the fact that American Indian and Alaska Native people continue to be disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. And with the emergence of several COVID-19 vaccines, there has been an urgent need for information on the knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs among American Indians and Alaska Natives regarding the vaccines. Urban Indian Health Institute (UIHI) conducted a survey with 1,435 American Indians and Alaska Natives across the United States, with participants representing 318 different tribes across 46 states. The survey asked 49 questions ranging from an individual’s willingness to receive a COVID-19 vaccine to the people they trusted most when making informed decisions.
