The Graham County Health Department has distributed roughly half of its initial batch of 600 COVID-19 vaccines.
Graham County Health Department Director Brian Douglas said some of the doses were given to Mt. Graham Regional Medical Center for dissemination amongst its staff, but the health department has been administering doses to other health care and long-term care workers personally. Long-term care residents have also been getting the vaccine.
âWeâll be ordering our second shipment in the next couple of weeks and it will only take a couple of days to arrive,â Douglas said.
By that time, Douglas said he suspects the health department will be ready to start vaccinating the next in line for the shot under U.S. Centers for Disease Control guidelines â law enforcement officers, teachers and school staff members and âessentialâ workers like those who work for oil, gas, electric and water utility companies.
