Second Doses At County Vaccination Sites
|
|
We know there is some concern among those who have received first doses at our county Point of Dispensing (POD) sites about when and where second dose appointments will be available. We are currently scheduling second dose appointments at our sites as openings occur, but it is a slow process given limited vaccine supply on hand. We are working with partners to expand second dose vaccination opportunities and locations as more supply is available.
So what can you do to make sure you don't miss out on your shot to get an appointment? Well, the good news is that we have a list of everyone who was vaccinated at our county PODs so we haven't forgotten about you! But if you want that extra re-assurance that you will get notified as new appointments for second doses become available, you can fill out this this short survey letting us know you still need a second dose. We will make sure you are contacted so you know how and where to go to schedule your appointment.

What If I Received My First Dose At State Farm Stadium?
If you were vaccinated at State Farm Stadium, you will need to visit the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) website regarding State Farm Stadium POD second doses. This is a state-operated vaccination site and all scheduling runs through ADHS.

More Information About Second Doses
Here are a few key things to remember about your second dose:
- Current science indicates you need two doses of both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines to receive full protection from COVID-19.
- Second doses are no different than first doses. They contain the same amount of vaccine.
- You can’t “mix and match” vaccines. You must receive the same type of vaccine for both doses. If you received Pfizer for your first dose, you need Pfizer for your second. If you received Moderna for your first dose, you need Moderna for your second.
- All county regional POD sites and state-operated PODs (State Farm Stadium and the Phoenix Municipal Stadium) use Pfizer vaccine.
- While the recommendation is to get a second dose 21 days (Pfizer) to 28 days (Moderna) after your first, don’t worry if you are not able to meet that exact timeframe. According to CDC/ACIP guidance, there is no maximum interval between the first and second dose for either vaccine.
- COVID-19 is still circulating widely in our community. Even if you’ve been vaccinated, you must still take preventive measures like wearing a mask and social distancing. While we know full vaccination is highly effective at protecting someone from getting sick from the virus, we are still learning about its ability to prevent transmission.
