COVID-19 vaccine — from an Indigenous tribe that was giving out its excess doses.The Blackfeet tribe in northern Montana provided about 1,000 surplus vaccines last month to its First Nations relatives and others from across the border, in an illustration of the disparity in speed at which the United States and Canada are distributing doses.
While more than 30 per cent of adults in the U.S. are fully vaccinated, in Canada that figure is about 3 per cent.Among those who received the vaccine at the Piegan-Carway border crossing were Sherry Cross Child and Shane Little Bear, of Stand Off, about 30 miles (50 kilometres) north of the border.
