Vaccine Week: Sleeves up for Summer in Anchorage
The Anchorage Health Department, Emergency Operations Center, and Mayor’s Office, along with community partners, are launching “Vaccine Week: Sleeves Up for Summer.” Vaccine Week will bring free, accessible vaccine clinics, prizes, and celebratory events to Anchorage during the first week of May. We’re going to #DoItForSummer.
More than 120,000 Anchorage residents have already rolled up their sleeves and gotten vaccinated against COVID-19. All Alaskans age 16 and older are eligible to get the COVID-19 vaccine. Nearly 50 percent of eligible Anchorage residents have completed their vaccination series and more than 57 percent of eligible Anchorage residents have received at least one dose. We are well on our way to having 70 percent of the eligible population vaccinated in Anchorage.
