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.

The National Weather Service (NWS) is providing information that some areas in Pinal County may have periods of heavy rain sometime today through Saturday. Flash flooding or areal flooding may be possible. Pinal County is urging all Pinal County residents to be prepared and plan ahead. "Please prepare yourself and your family for the potential of flooding. Just a few inches of water can cause significant damage to homes and property," states Flood Control Section Chief Joshua Plumb.

We all know the signatures of an Arizona monsoon - intense dust storms and torrential rain - but how many of us truly know how to drive safely when Mother Nature unleashes her worst?

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.

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

Arizona-run sites in the Phoenix area, Tucson, Yuma, and Flagstaff administered more than 6,000 COVID-19 vaccine doses Thursday and saw their greatest demand in the late afternoon as parents brought their kids ages 12 to 15 to be vaccinated.

Arizona-run vaccination sites in the Phoenix area, Tucson, Yuma, and Flagstaff, along with many pharmacies and other providers around the state, will begin offering the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines to children 12 to 15 years old on Thursday, May 13. This exciting step forward follows today’s approval by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Pima County and its community partners will be offering expanded opportunities to be vaccinated now that the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have endorsed the Emergency Use Authorization of the Pfizer vaccine to include children ages 12 to 15.

More than 3 million people in Arizona have received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine, well more than half of the population age 16 and older. With plenty of supply now throughout the state, it’s easier than ever to roll up your sleeve to protect yourself, your family, and your community.
