PHOENIX – Additional appointments for coronavirus vaccination will be available at state vaccination sites on Tuesday morning, but the high demand and available doses remain of concern.
At 19:00 on 19 January, ADHS says that suitable Arizonans can register in February for the appointment of vaccines for the State Farm Stadium in Glendale and the Phoenix Municipal Stadium in the Phoenix / Tempe area.

“Initial appointments are limited based on vaccine supply, with appointments depending on the distribution of the vaccine by the federal government,” the Arizona Department of Health Services said in a press release Monday morning.
Arizona is reportedly receiving the vaccine from the federal government on a weekly basis, which determines how many vaccines the state has and how many appointments can be offered.

ADHS says the state is working to get more doses and will continue to offer as many appointments as possible. Community and provincial vaccination sites are also in the process of vaccinating as many Arizonans as possible and expanding their availability.
As of Monday morning, ADHD says more than 281,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccine have been administered to nearly 244,000 Arizonans.
Tuesday is also the addition of Arizonane who is 65 years and older in the vaccine priority group. Those 65+ will be eligible to register for a vaccine appointment on Tuesday.
Groups prioritized to date include: frontline health care workers, emergency service workers, and residents and staff at long-term care facilities (in Phase 1A): and protection services; K-12, educators from universities and community colleges; child care workers; and adults 75 and older (Preliminary Phase 1B).
Those 75 and older can sign up at other locations, including certain pharmacies.
