The year of the coronavirus could end on a positive note as the Arizona Department of Health Services prepares to receive more than 383,000 doses of vaccine, just in time for Christmas.
According to Mohave County Health Director Denise Burley, 212,000 of the vaccines will arrive from Pfizer, and 171,000 will come from Moderna. The Arizona Department of Health Services reported Wednesday that the first doses of the vaccine could arrive as soon as this weekend, with distribution starting in Pima and Maricopa Counties for the first week. During the second week of distribution, all of Arizona’s 15 counties, as well as four tribes will receive doses to begin vaccinating at-risk patients throughout the state.
