The Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) announced today it will make COVID-19 vaccination appointments available each Friday for the following week, easing the process for Arizonans to register for appointments at state mass-vaccination sites in the Phoenix area and Tucson.
At 11 a.m. Friday, March 19, additional appointments will be available for Monday, March 22, through Sunday, March 28, at the University of Arizona campus in central Tucson, State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona State University’s Phoenix Municipal Stadium near Tempe, and Chandler-Gilbert Community College in the Southeast Valley.
“Arizonans are eager to get the vaccine, and we are working to quickly expand access to appointments to meet that demand,” said Governor Doug Ducey. “The additional appointments will get more Arizonans vaccinatedtion, while helping to protect our communities, and take us one step closer to normalcy. Thank you to ADHS, healthcare professionals, and volunteers working at vaccination sites across the state.”
Prioritized individuals ‒ currently those 55 and older ‒ can register for vaccination at state sites and many others by visiting podvaccine.azdhs.gov or by calling 1-844-542-8201 to be connected with someone who can assist. Throughout the week, ADHS will make some additional appointments available due to cancellations and no-shows at state sites. These are available by visiting podvaccine.azdhs.gov or calling 1-844-542-8201. Hours of operation for the call center are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m seven days a week.
Information about all vaccination sites across Arizona, including pharmacies, Federally Qualified Health Centers, pop-up events in specific communities, and healthcare providers offering vaccination, can be found at azhealth.gov/findvaccine.
Each Wednesday, ADHS will announce on Twitter (twitter.com/AZDHS) and Facebook (facebook.com/AZDHS) the approximate number of appointments that will be available at each site. Here is the information on first-dose appointments available next week:
