PHOENIX⁠ — Governor Doug Ducey this morning thanked volunteers at the State Farm Stadium vaccination site and received a briefing from Arizona Department of Health Services Director Dr. Cara Christ during a tour of the 24/7 site.

To date, 146,709 vaccine doses have been administered at the state-run State Farm Stadium site. Arizona's vaccination site at Phoenix Municipal Stadium, which opened earlier this week on February 1, has administered 4,058 doses. A total of 822,821 doses have been administered across the state.

Arizona has the capacity to open more large-scale vaccination sites once more vaccine doses are available. The state recently requested from the federal government an additional 300,000 doses of the life-saving vaccine, and an additional 300,000 doses a week. The request was denied.

Earlier this week on February 2, Governor Ducey sent a letter to each member of Arizona's congressional delegation requesting help to meet the urgent need for additional supplies of the COVID-19 vaccine and secure funding for its distribution.
