CHANDLER, AZ â A family physician in Chandler plans to begin vaccinating children by the end of the week in Arizona.
Dr. Andrew Carroll received a shipment of more than 1,100 doses of the Pfizer vaccine on Tuesday.
Carroll said he will be working on outreach in the area, as âthere are a lot of family physicians and pediatric offices around us that may not have signed up to give the vaccine, or are unable to store 1,200 doses of Pfizer vaccine at the ultra-low temperature that are necessary. So we re inviting other clinics around us to send their patients to us.â
