Pima County Health Department

The Pima County Health Department is now offering third-dose (booster) Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccinations to eligible individuals at its health clinics, vaccination PODs and mobile clinics.

In addition, all vaccine types, including the Pfizer booster, will be available beginning Oct. 4 on the first floor of the Abrams Public Health Center, 3950 S. Country Club Road. To accommodate the increased demand for boosters, Abrams’ last day of COVID-19 testing will be Saturday, Oct. 2.

The Pima County Health Department (PCHD) is providing this important update to the public health advisory issued on July 29, 2021, regarding community spread of COVID-19 and its resulting impacts on area hospital capacity and bed availability in Pima County due to a significant surge in COVID-19 cases.

The Pima County Health Department is partnering with public and private schools throughout the County to offer free mobile COVID-19 vaccination clinics on school campuses.

A dozen clinics are scheduled in the Vail School District alone from Aug. 7 to 16. More are scheduled at schools in the Marana Unified School District, Tucson Unified School District and at private schools over the next several weeks.

With nearly 70 percent of people over 18 having received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, County officials are shifting their focus to static sites such as pharmacies, doctors’ offices and clinics to vaccinate the remaining members of the population.

Out of concern for safety due to the increasing heat, there will be changes in hours for the two FEMA mobile COVID-19 vaccination units that will be moving to a new location on June 12.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency, which has been operating mobile units in partnership with Pima County since May 3, will be at Rillito Race Track, 4502 N. 1st Avenue, and Curtis Park, 2110 W. Curtis Road, June 12 through June 14.
