In the early days of COVID-19 vaccinations, appointments got snatched up within minutes, people were willing to drive hours to get a shot, and there were more people than vaccine. About six months later, nearly everybody who wants the shot has likely had it â or at least plenty of access.
Now the attention is turning to those still unvaccinated, for whatever reason. This summer, Pima County, like many communities around the country, is doing whatever it can to encourage those who still remain unvaccinated to change their minds.

Pima County s plans to press forward with coronavirus vaccine distribution in Green Valley has been hampered by a scarcity of supplies, but some options are slowly rolling into the area.
The county signed a $3.5 million one-year contract with Premier Medical Group USA on Jan. 11. Pima County s Chief Medical Officer Dr. Francisco Garcia said Thursday that Premier would help the county create an infrastructure to dispense vaccines in rural and semi-urban areas.Â
But right now, the county is limited by the state s weekly vaccine allocations. Garcia said Premier s assistance would help as state allocations increase and the county moves further in its Accelerated Immunization Plan.
