Snowbirds and other visitors who typically come to enjoy the state's warm winter weather are joining Arizonans as they roll up their sleeves to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. Some year-round Arizonans are frustrated that non-residents are tapping the state's limited supply of doses. But from a public health perspective, it's important to protect everyone who is in the community, health officials say. Plus, the more doses administered overall, the better. State health officials' intent to vaccinate anyone in Arizona has been clear from the start. Dr. Cara Christ, the state health director, told The Arizona Republic in early December, before the first doses even arrived in the state, that vaccines would be available to residents, snowbirds and visitors alike.
