Arizonans who are 55 or older will be able to register for COVID-19 vaccination appointments at the University of Arizona vaccination site beginning Saturday at 8 a.m. Appointments will be available as soon as Monday.
Those who are eligible and have not yet been vaccinated can go to podvaccine.azdhs.gov to make an appointment. Those requiring assistance, including those who would like to speak with bilingual schedulers, can call 602-542-1000.
The eligibility expansion aligns the site with Gov. Doug Ducey s announcement earlier this month that the state would move to a hybrid vaccine distribution model that prioritizes vaccinations based on age and occupation.
While Ohio University has deflected all questions about whether Senior Vice President for Finance and Administration Deborah Shaffer is an Ohio resident, many other state universities affirmed that their chief financial officers reside in the Buckeye State.
OU has declined on numerous occasions to answer whether Shaffer, who no longer owns residential property in the state, is a resident. University leaders say Shafferâs residence isnât relevant to the institutionâs work, a point they reiterated when asked for comment for this report.
The Athens NEWS contacted 10 Inter-University Council public universities in Ohio asking about the residency of their finance executives. OU competes with many of those institutions for undergraduate students and uses them all as benchmarks for compensation of its executive employees.
