Fairbanks International Airport and other COVID-19 vaccination sites throughout Alaska are now available to all visitors to the state.
FAIRBANKS, Alaska (KTVF) - On June 1st the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services announced that eligibility requirements for receiving any of the three COVID-19 vaccines were expanded to include visitors to Alaska from other states and countries.
Terri O’Connor, Deputy Director with the Division of Public Health explained, “Prior to that, Alaska residents and workers were eligible to receive vaccine, and now any travelers to Alaska are. Of course they have to be old enough to get the vaccine, so currently the Pfizer vaccine is able to be used in individuals 12 and older, and the Johnson & Johnson and Moderna vaccines are able to be used in individuals 18 and older.”
