The photographs I made for a Bloomberg feature on covid-19 vaccinations in the United States, were also used in articles in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.
Covid-19 vaccinations on the Navajo Nation
I photographed ongoing covid-19 vaccinations on the Navajo Nation in Gallup, New Mexico for Bloomberg News on March 23, 2021. On this day, the temporary clinic at the University of New Mexico was giving the second dose of the Pfizer vaccine to individuals who’d received their first shot two weeks prior.
The Navajo Nation had some of the worst covid mortality rates per capita in the United States in the spring and summer of 2020. Now, the Navajo Area Indian Health Service has vaccinated approximately 75% of their user population—people who have visited them in the last three years—and they’re still going. I felt the sense of some light at the end of the tunnel.
