The following information details the latest updates and responses to COVID-19 by Cochise County.
Vaccine distribution
In the 10-day span between Dec. 1 and Dec. 11, 1,031 people tested positive for COVID-19 in Cochise County. Until most of our population is vaccinated, we must be diligent about wearing masks properly, washing our hands, and staying a safe distance from others who do not live in our home.
Cochise Health & Social Services (CHSS) anticipates receiving the first shipment of Moderna vaccine as early as the week of Dec. 20, pending FDA approval. A phased approach will be used, based on recommendations from the Arizona Vaccine and Antiviral Prioritization Committee (VAPAC).
