PHOENIX – On Tuesday morning, additional vaccinations for the coronavirus will be available at state vaccination sites, but high demand and available doses remain a concern.
At 9am on Jan. 19, ADHS says eligible Arizonans will be able to register for February vaccination appointments for State Farm Stadium in Glendale and Phoenix Municipal Stadium in the Phoenix / Tempe area.

“Initial appointments are limited based on vaccine offerings, and appointments are contingent upon federal government distribution of the vaccine,” the Arizona Department of Health Services said in a news release Monday morning.
Arizona reportedly receives weekly allocations of the vaccine from the federal government, which determines how many vaccine doses the state has and how many appointments can be offered.

ADHS says the state is working to secure more doses and will continue to offer as many appointments as possible. Community and county vaccination sites are also working to vaccinate as many eligible Arizonans as possible and increase availability.
As of Monday morning, ADHS says more than 281,000 COVID-19 vaccine doses have been administered to nearly 244,000 Arizonans.
Tuesday also marks the addition of Arizonans who are 65 and older to the vaccine priority group. On Tuesday, people over 65 can register for a vaccination appointment.
Groups prioritized so far include: primary health care workers, carers and residents and staff of long-term care facilities (in phase 1A): and protectors; K-12, university and community college educators; childcare workers; and adults aged 75 and over (priority stage 1B).
