Pima County leads the state in rate of COVID-19 vaccinations as of January 5 and is gearing up to move into the next phase of vaccinations.

The County is currently in Phase 1A, which is for health care workers, including those in emergency medical services, and residents and staff of long-term care facilities.

While some other counties have moved into Phase 1B this week, Pima County is still vaccinating the 1A group due to the exceptional response from 1A-qualified organizations and their employees. That has resulted in the need for additional time in Phase 1A.
