PHOENIX – Additional appointments for the coronavirus vaccine will be available Tuesday morning at the state’s vaccination sites, but high demand and available doses remain a concern.
At 9 am on January 19, ADHS says eligible Arizonans can apply for February vaccinations at State Farm Stadium in Glendale and Phoenix Municipal Stadium in the Phoenix / Tempe area.

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

ADHS says the state is working to guarantee more doses and will continue to offer as many consultations as possible. Community and county vaccination sites are also working to vaccinate as many eligible Arizonans as possible and expand availability.
As of Monday morning, ADHS said more than 281,000 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine were administered to almost 244,000 Arizonans.
Tuesday also marks the addition of Arizonans aged 65 and over to the priority vaccination group. On Tuesday, those over 65 will be eligible to register for a vaccine appointment.
The groups prioritized so far include: frontline health workers, emergency service workers and residents and employees in long-term care facilities (in Phase 1A): and protective service workers; Elementary and high school, university and community college educators; childcare workers; and adults aged 75 and over (prioritized Phase 1B).
