MONTGOMERY â Governor
Kay Ivey and the Alabama Department of Public Health (ADPH) on Friday announced that ADPH will provide COVID-19 vaccinations for people 75 years old or older, as well as first responders, including law enforcement and firefighters, statewide by appointment only effective January 18. Appointments at locations throughout the state are made first come, first served. The addition of these groups is not a full expansion into the next phase of the vaccine rollout.
 âI appreciate the swift work of ADPH to establish a system to efficiently provide our limited resources of vaccine to as many Alabamians as possible,â Governor Ivey said. âWe are diligently working to expand access to our seniors, law enforcement officers and various members of our first responders. It is critical for everyone to remain patient. ADPH and their partners are working around-the-clock to assist as many people as they can.âÂ
