More coronavirus vaccine headed for Yuma County
2,500 doses of Moderna vaccine arriving next week
YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - The Yuma County Public Health District (YCPHD) announced Friday more doses of Moderna's coronavirus vaccine will arrive next week.
YCPHD says it expects 2,500 doses. Health officials will open an online portal for appointments on Monday, February 1, at 1 p.m. MST.
In the past, Yuma County has had problems using a phone system for reservations. The volume of callers overwhelmed its lines. For that reason, the county will accept only reserve appointments online.
How the doses will be allocated
- 700 for teachers & support staff arranged by the Yuma County School Superintendents Office
- 1,200 for 1st & 2nd doses by Yuma County Public Health Services District. (Details of the distribution/clinic/sign up to come next week.)
- 600 for Yuma Regional Medical Center
Who will be eligible?
- If you received your first vaccine from YCPHD on, or before, January 7, 2021 you are now eligible for your second shot.
- Phase 1B priority groups also qualify for shots
