“After the initial soft launch of this site, we will have the capability to immunize thousands of Arizonans around the clock, 7 days a week,” said Dr. Cara Christ, director of the Arizona Department of Health Services. “It will help meet the growing demand for COVID-19 vaccine in Arizona as we move into our priority Phase 1B and beyond."

Those eligible to register can do so here.

There are more than 160 sites to receive the COVID vaccine throughout Arizona. 

The 24/7 vaccine site was made possible thanks to a $1 million grant from the Ben and Catherine Ivy Foundation. Along with support from the Arizona Cardinals, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona, and the Arizona Department of Emergency and military affairs. 

There are more than 300 volunteers with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona that will assist in providing 24/7 staffing.
