More than 20,000 people have signed up to get COVID-19 vaccines; more vaccine on the way
The following is a joint statement from Dr. Francisco Garcia, Pima County Chief Medical Officer, and Dr. Theresa Cullen, Pima County Health Department Director, about the success of today's start of Phase 1B vaccine registrations and the need for patience.
"The public’s response to Pima County beginning 1B vaccine registration today has been tremendous. In just two hours, more than 20,000 Pima County residents were able to register to get appointments to receive the COVID-19 vaccine in the coming days.
As you know, there is a limited amount of vaccine. All of the current appointments for available vaccine at the two Banner-operated vaccination sites and at Tucson Medical Center are accounted for through the registration process.
