Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey issued an advisory Tuesday to accelerate COVID-19 vaccine distribution across the state and move doses to where they can be rapidly administered to residents.
“The COVID-19 vaccination is our best shot at returning to life as it should be. Over the last two weeks, the COVID-19 vaccination site at State Farm Stadium has become a national model for vaccine administration,” Ducey said in a news release. “With adequate vaccine doses, we can build on this success, both at our existing vaccination sites, and at additional sites across the state. This advisory will provide transparency in the pace of vaccination administration and allow us to direct vaccine doses to where they will be most rapidly distributed.”
