Arizonans age 16 and up can now sign up to be vaccinated against COVID-19, but only at state-operated vaccination sites in Maricopa, Pima and Yuma counties. To sign up, click here.
Arizona Department of Health Services offers appointments at 11 a.m. each Friday only at these sites:
- State Farm Stadium in Glendale
- Phoenix Municipal Stadium in Phoenix just north of Tempe
- Chandler-Gilbert Community College on Pecos Road in Chandler
- University of Arizona in Tucson
- Yuma Civic Center in Yuma
“Our goal has been and remains to get vaccine into the community as quickly, widely and equitably as possible,” Gov. Doug Ducey stated in the press release. “Given a thorough review of vaccination data, anticipated vaccine supply, and current demand among prioritized groups, now is the time to take this critical next step.”
As of March 22, Arizona has administered 2,904,159 doses of COVID-19 vaccine to 1,831,456 individuals, including 1,136,413 who are fully vaccinated.
The change announced today advances a hybrid approach that had been based on age and also has had counties vaccinating frontline essential workers. It applies to appointments still available for this week at state-run sites in Maricopa and Pima counties.
“We anticipate more and more vaccine reaching Arizona heading into April, making it possible now to expand prioritization,” said Dr. Cara Christ, director of the Arizona Department of Health Services. “We have been flexible and nimble throughout, while expanding the availability of state sites to vaccinate large numbers of people rapidly.”
State sites complement county vaccination programs and the growing availability of vaccine at pharmacies and federally qualified health centers participating in federal vaccination programs.
Sites using the Pfizer vaccine, including those run by the state, can vaccinate those 16 and older. The Moderna and Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen Pharmaceutical vaccines, which are allocated to counties, are approved for those 18 and older.
