Northern Arizona Healthcare is expecting its initial order of Modernaâs COVID-19 vaccines to arrive as early as next week, with distribution beginning Dec. 28 for healthcare workers at Flagstaff Medical Center, Verde Valley Medical Center and its other facilities.
In a media briefing Thursday, NAH leaders said they have asked for 900 doses for FMC and 500 doses for VVMC, an order that would cover about half of the healthcare organizationâs 3,500 employees.
