Transition to State-Operated Site to Keep Location Open, Continue Vaccinations

Governor Doug Ducey and the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) today announced a state-operated COVID-19 vaccination site in the Phoenix metropolitan area’s East Valley, avoiding the closure of a successful mass vaccination site and further expanding the state’s nationally recognized model for speeding up vaccine administration.

The vaccination site at Chandler-Gilbert Community College will begin operating as a state-run location on Wednesday, March 3.

Arizonans will be able to register starting at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Feb .16, for nearly 12,000 appointments available at a state COVID-19 vaccination site at the University of Arizona in Tucson. 

The Arizona Department of Health Services, the university, and the Pima County Health Department are partnering to operate the site at the university’s mall area.

Governor Doug Ducey and the Arizona Department of Health Services today announced a partnership with the University of Arizona and the Pima County Health Department to operate a state vaccination site on the university’s mall area on central Tucson campus.

Less than three weeks after opening, the state’s first 24/7 COVID-19 vaccination site at State Farm Stadium has administered its 100,000th dose. 

That means one out of six doses put into arms since vaccine began arriving in Arizona in December has been given at the State Farm Stadium site, which launched on Jan. 11. As of today, a total of 629,845 doses have been administered across the state.
