 Getting your COVID-19 vaccine is easier than ever
Gone are the days of waiting to be in the right “bracket” in order to get a COVID-19 vaccine. All people 16 and up are now eligible to be vaccinated.
Pima County has made it much easier to get a vaccine appointment by partnering with community groups, offering night and weekend vaccination events and smoothing out the registration process.
New traffic system will help get you there quickly, safely
Does it seem like you always get stopped at the same red light even when there’s no cross traffic? The Pima County Department of Transportation (DOT) wants to put an end to that annoyance.
DOT has implemented a new traffic monitoring system that will mean fewer stops when you drive down major arterial roadways, reduce delays, and get you where you’re going faster and more safely.

Vaccination, graduation, celebration: Health Department helping schools get there
Last year, high school graduates didn’t get to walk across a stage or celebrate with their friends, missing out on one of the most important milestones of their young lives.
The Pima County Health Department hopes this year can be a bit more traditional, which is why they are bringing the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine to high schools to reach anyone age 18 or older. Students, staff, and parents can get vaccinated on campus, where they already spend much of their day. Hours vary, with some locations offering after-school opportunities, some during school hours, and some a combination of both.
