Recording an informational video on COVID vaccine side effects. Remember to get your second shot. Side effects go away in 24-48 hours and are a sign your immune system is responding to the vaccine.

Getting a #fluvaccine is the best thing you can do to protect yourself and your family this flu season. I encourage everyone to make flu vaccination a healthy habit, each and every year. #fightflu

@DepSecHargan @IHSgov @HHS_ASPE I’ve seen firsthand the tremendous improvements made possible through the @IHSgov Special Diabetes Program for Indiana in model programs like the @ebciphhs Cherokee Choices program.

[Eric D. Hargan @DepSecHargan]

The @IHSgov Special Diabetes Program for Indians is delivering results. @HHS_ASPE reported that a 54% decrease in #diabetes-related end-stage renal disease in Native populations resulted in at least $436 million in savings to Medicare over 10 years: https://t.co/6t6BUKAN3K
