State and County Launch Vaccine Data Dashboards

The Arizona Department of Health Services and Maricopa County have launched COVID-19 data dashboards where the public can track vaccine distribution in Arizona. The ADHS dashboard shows the number of vaccine doses distributed in the state, as well as in each county. It also shows vaccine distribution by race/ethnicity, age, and gender. The launch of the site will make the process of vaccine distribution more transparent to Arizona citizens.

In addition to the launch of their dashboard, Maricopa County has lowered the age limit for vaccinations to individuals 65 and older. ADHS officially expanded the 1B category to include adults 65 and older last month, but the county decided to wait due to a limited supply of doses. The decision to expand the eligible for vaccination was made in part because nearly half of adults 75 and older have received at least one dose of the vaccine. To keep up with the increasing number of Arizonans eligible for the vaccine, Maricopa County is in the process of planning pop-up vaccination events that will take place in communities and neighborhoods.
