NEWS on COVID-19 in Arizona: Arizona plans to start COVID-19 vaccinations next week. Here is what you need to know
“Hope is on the horizon: A vaccine for COVID-19 is expected to soon start rolling out, focusing first on those at highest risk of contracting the disease or experiencing serious complications from it.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized emergency use of the Pfizer vaccine Friday night.
Doses are expected to arrive in Arizona within days, with inoculations for some health care workers beginning next week.
The next few months will be challenging. Already, daily death counts nationwide break new records. It will take months until the vaccine has been administered to the general public broadly enough to return to any semblance of pre-pandemic life.
Dr. Cara Christ, director of the Arizona Department of Health Services, feels a sense of hope, seeing the light is at the end of the tunnel.
Without the hope of a vaccine coming so soon, the pandemic, at this stage, would feel ‘almost overbearing,’ shetold The Arizona Republic Thursday.
But the vaccine rollout will have its own hurdles.
‘This is going to be a significant logistical challenge. There's a lot of moving parts. We're relying on a lot of different supply chains coming together,’ she said.”
