Alaska has opened its COVID-19 vaccinations to anyone living and working in its state who is 16-years-old and older. They became the first state to do so in the United States on Tuesday, March 9, 2021. The Governor of Alaska, Mike Dunleavy, calls the move a “game-changer.”
He then dropped the age requirements for his state to include people aged 16 and up. Dunleavy further stated, “A healthy community means a healthy economy.” Having COVID-19 vaccines obtainable “to all Alaskans who” works and resides in the state “will no doubt see our economy grow.” It will also help their “businesses thrive.”
