The news comes as the State Farm Stadium continues to have a high number of vaccine records, resulting in a crowded January month on the Glendale website.
More appointments for State Farm Stadium in February will also be available on Tuesday, January 19 at 9:00 am. They will also offer second dose consultations, in addition to the current capacity for first doses, says the press release.
The governor’s office says there are more than 200 vaccination sites that have received the vaccine in Arizona, including 45 community health centers.
For those still looking to register for a coronavirus vaccine consultation, county health departments are working to expand availability at their locations.
The CDC Retail Pharmacy Program will add up to 100 pharmacy stores that can administer the vaccine in the coming weeks. When the program is in full swing, more than 800 Arizona pharmacies will have vaccines available.
Nearly 190,000 doses of the vaccine were administered in Arizona on Thursday morning, including 17,000 people who completed both doses.
