Arizona has administered more than 6 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine since December, with nearly 3.4 million individuals having received at least one dose and 2.9 million now fully vaccinated, the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) announced today. 

“Arizona has reached another major milestone with our six millionth dose of COVID-19 vaccine administered,” said Governor Ducey. “This is the result of hard work by so many ‒ nurses, doctors, pharmacists, staff, volunteers and more. Arizona is proud of the success so far and we’re committed to keeping up the momentum.”

State-run vaccination sites, which have administered 1.6 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine to nearly 900,000 individuals, will be phased out over the coming weeks as Arizona’s focus turns to increasing the number of neighborhood options, including pharmacies, doctors’ offices, and pop-up clinics. 

The seven state mass-vaccination sites in the Phoenix metropolitan area, Tucson, Yuma, and Flagstaff reached another milestone today, having now administered more than 1.5 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine while helping to protect Arizonans rapidly and efficiently. 

With vaccine increasingly available at pharmacies, pop-up clinics, doctors’ offices, and other neighborhood locations around Arizona, state sites won’t stay open indefinitely. So take advantage of them now while they are still open. 

Arizona has administered more than 5 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine since December, with nearly 3 million individuals having received at least one dose and 2.27 million now fully vaccinated, Governor Doug Ducey and the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) announced today. 

Tens of thousands of appointments remain available for this week at state COVID-19 mass-vaccination sites in the Valley, Tucson, Yuma, and Flagstaff. Getting vaccinated is as simple as clicking a mouse, picking up the phone, or driving to a site. 

Of the 74,000 first-dose appointments made available last Friday, nearly 60,000 were still available this morning to receive the Pfizer vaccine at state sites. Locations of these and other sites offering COVID-19 vaccination are available at azdhs.gov/FindVaccine. 

 After a thorough safety review and recommendation by federal partners, the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) is advising providers to resume use of the one-dose Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) today expressed confidence that the vaccine is safe and effective in preventing COVID-19. 

The state Northern Region COVID-19 Vaccination Site, a partnership with Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS), Coconino County, Northern Arizona University (NAU) and Northern Arizona Healthcare, will open in Flagstaff on Monday, April 19, administering the Pfizer vaccine to anyone 16 and older.

ADHS is following recommendations from the CDC and FDA to pause the use of the vaccine

Discovery provides another reason for Arizonans to act with care and get vaccinated

The Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS), Maricopa County Department of Public Health, and Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen) reported today that the B.1.351 COVID-19 variant strain, commonly referred to as the South African variant, has been confirmed in two test samples from the state.
