Green Valley residents breathe a sigh of relief as Pima County gets underway with its first large-scale effort to vaccinate people 75 and older locally.
The county allocated 3,000 shots to Green Valley, which the Green Valley Fire District, Premier Medical Group and local volunteers began dispensing on Wednesday.
GVFD is leading the local effort with Premier s assistance. On Wednesday, Chief Chuck Wunder said the Santa Cruz Valley Regional Hospital site planned to dispense 200 vaccines each day. On Thursday, Operations Manager Sid McKissock with Premier said the Community Performance & Art Center would distribute 700 vaccines each day. The two sites will operate from Wednesday through Friday. Both locations are drive-thru operations.

The vaccine will be administered at two sites Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, and will focus on those age 75 and older.
The first site is at Santa Cruz Valley Regional Hospital, the second is at the Community Performance and Art Center (CPAC), 1250 W. Continental Road. They will be open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day.
