COVID-19 Vaccines are Free in Arizona


Get Vaccinated

COVID-19 vaccines are an important tool to help stop the spread of COVID-19. The vaccines available in Arizona are safe and effective, and cannot give you COVID-19. It is recommended for people who were previously infected with COVID-19 to still get a COVID-19 vaccine. 

COVID-19 vaccines are available to everyone in Arizona, and one of the vaccines (Pfizer-BioNTech) is currently approved for those aged 12 and older.
