After a scramble in the early days to get COVID-19 vaccine, demand for vaccinations has fallen sharply in recent months and a White House goal of getting 70% of adults vaccinated by July Fourth has fallen with it. Arizona is one of 31 states to fall short of that target. (Photo by Spec. 3rd Class M.J. Lieb erknecht/U.S. Navy)
