Vaccine for young children available
June 21, 2022: The COVID-19 vaccine for children as young as 6 months old is available to Pima County clinics. See below for hours and locations. Making an appointment at one of the clinics is recommended to avoid a wait. Also, be sure to check with your pediatrician and pharmacies for availability.
Booster shots
May 20, 2022: Pima County vaccination sites started offering a COVID-19 booster shot for children ages 5 through 11 who are at least five months removed from their second shot of the Pfizer vaccine. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) approved that booster recommendation on May 19, 2022.
March 29, 2022: A second booster shot became available for immunocompromised individuals and people over the age of 50 who received an initial booster dose at least four months ago. Those populations are most at risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19.
The CDC has a handy on-line tool to determine when, or if, you or your child can get one or more COVID-19 boosters.
This site is updated daily.

Long-Haul COVID-19: What you need to know
Have you previously tested positive for COVID-19 and find that, after later testing negative, you have new or lingering health symptoms that are affecting your well-being? Even if you are unaware of a previous COVID infection, you may be one of many people struggling with what clinicians are referring to as long-haul COVID.

Recent FAQ
Do fully vaccinated people still need to quarantine after exposure to someone with suspected or confirmed COVID-19?
People are considered fully vaccinated if it has been:
- 2 weeks after the second dose of a 2-dose vaccine series, like Pfizer or Moderna, or
- 2 weeks after the single dose vaccine, like Johnson & Johnson
Fully vaccinated people without symptoms do not need to quarantine, but they receive a COVID-19 test 5-7 days (Day 5 is best) after exposure to someone with suspected or confirmed COVID-19, and they should continue to wear a mask in public indoor settings for 10 days after exposure or until they receive a negative test result. They should also watch for symptoms for 2 weeks following an exposure.
A fully vaccinated person who receives a positive test result, or later develops COVID-19 symptoms, should isolate themselves from others and be evaluated for COVID-19 by a healthcare provider.
