Over 2 Million Arizonans Have Received At Least One Dose Of COVID-19 Vaccine

More than 2 million Arizonans have now received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine, a milestone that cements the state’s reputation as a national leader in vaccine distribution.

Nearly 3.2 million doses have been administered since the vaccination program launched in December. As of this morning, 1.2 million Arizonans have been fully vaccinated.

“State-run sites and many others are now vaccinating everyone 16 and older or 18 and older depending on the vaccine being used, and we’re looking forward to increasing supply from our federal partners,” said Dr. Cara Christ, director of the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS).

An indoor vaccination operation at Yuma Civic Center becomes a state site on Monday. And the state is making plans to move other sites indoors, including an indoor drive-thru site opening Monday, April 5, at the Dexcom regional distribution center in southeast Mesa.

Doses administered to date at each state site are:

  • State Farm Stadium, Glendale: 575,112
  • Arizona State University Phoenix Municipal Stadium: 130,345
  • University of Arizona: 72,777 (plus 23,883 before becoming a state site)
  • Chandler-Gilbert Community College: 64,231

At 11 a.m. each Friday, registration opens for vaccination appointments at state sites during the following week. To register, please visit podvaccine.azdhs.gov or call 1-844-542-8201.
