CVS pharmacies are now accepting same-day COVID-19 vaccination appointments, and at some locations no appointment is necessary.
About 190 locations in Arizona are taking walk-ins, but appointments are also available within an hour of scheduling.
âWe continue to orchestrate an all-out effort to vaccinate the nation against COVID-19,â said CVS Health President and CEO Karen S. Lynch. âThanks to the dedication and effort of our colleagues, I am proud to say we helped achieve the Presidentâs accelerated 100-day goal of 200 million vaccines and have administered over 17 million COVID-19 vaccine doses to date. Our customers continue to give us high satisfaction scores based on their interactions with colleagues and our customer-centric digital approach for scheduling appointments.â
As health officials work to overcome vaccine hesitancy among some members of the public, Pima County and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) are teaming.

In his final COVID-19 briefing of the spring semester, University of Arizona President
Robert C. Robbins thanked university students, employees and supporters for their efforts to mitigate the spread of the virus and allow for a successful end to an unprecedented school year.
May 5 is the last day of spring classes at the university, and the number of positive COVID-19 infections on campus remains low, thanks in large part to increased vaccine availability and ongoing cooperation with public health measures such as social distancing, mask wearing and regular university-mandated testing.
Between April 26 and May 1, the university administered 4,731 COVID-19 tests, with 10 positives – a positivity rate of 0.21% Wastewater testing on and around campus also suggests that infections are continuing to decline, Robbins said.

The University of Arizona plans to decommission its vaccination site as of June 25 and announced new hours last Thursday.
With the decline in vaccine demand and âas other avenues for vaccination become more readily available,â the UA POD plans to scale back its hours and on Monday transitioned to fully indoors at the Ina E. Gittings Building, closing the drive-thru as the days get hotter, announced UA President Robert C. Robbins at the university update on Monday morning.
At the start of next week the UA POD will shorten its hours to 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., then on June 1 will continue with new hours only offering second doses.
