Arizona doles out over half its vaccine supply; more coming
February 2, 2021 GMT
PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona has administered more than half of its COVID-19 vaccine supply but is expected to get more than 1 million additional doses soon, health officials said Tuesday.
The Arizona Department of Health Services’ daily vaccine report shows the state has given out 59% of its doses, or more than 702,000, so far. But 1.2 million doses were expected to be shipped this week.
Some have criticized the state’s vaccine rollout, citing a confusing online appointment system that officials say is being improved. Now, 21,000 appointment slots were being added to a state-run vaccination site that opened Monday at Phoenix Municipal Stadium.
