Print article Thousands of new COVID-19 vaccine appointments are set to go live on the state’s vaccine website at noon on Thursday, state health officials said this week. The open slots will be for appointments beginning Feb. 4 and will continue through the month. These appointments will only be for health care workers in Phase 1A and all adults 65 and older. Seniors who want to sign up for an appointment should visit covidvax.alaska.gov beginning Thursday afternoon. That’s where there will be an option to type in a zip code to find a list of available, nearby vaccine providers with appointments, and then sign up.
