dose

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that certain immunocompromised individuals who have already received an initial two doses of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine (Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna) receive an additional dose.

Emerging evidence shows some people who are moderately to severely immunocompromised experienced a reduced immune response to the initial COVID-19 vaccine series. The administration of an additional mRNA COVID-19 VACCINE aims to prevent serious and possibly life-threatening COVID-19 within this population.

ZIP code data now includes demographics for better understanding of communities with lower vaccination rates

Maricopa County has now added demographic detail to their ZIP code-level vaccination data. This will help the county and its partners identify in finer detail which communities have experienced potential barriers to getting vaccinated so that vaccine events can be tailored to people’s needs.

More than 3 million Arizonans are now fully vaccinated against COVID-19, another milestone as the state increases its protection against the coronavirus, Governor Doug Ducey and the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) announced today.

“Millions now have the full benefit of these safe, highly effective, free, and widely available vaccines,” Governor Doug Ducey said. “I encourage every Arizonan who hasn’t been vaccinated yet to roll up their sleeve, get the COVID-19 vaccine, and help end the spread of the virus.”

The Pima County Health Department began to offer COVID-19 vaccinations at its three main Health Clinics on June 7.

All three brands of the vaccine – Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson – will be available. Anyone 12 years and older are eligible.

The three clinics and hours of vaccination are:

Theresa Lee Health Center

• 1493 W. Commerce Court
• Monday, Friday: 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.
• Wednesday: 1 – 5 p.m.
• 520-724-7900

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.
