Gov. Asa Hutchinson We are in our second month of inoculating Arkansans against COVID-19 and today I’d like to talk about the progress we are making. We have received nearly 473,000 doses of the vaccine and we have administered right at 252,000 of the first dose. Arkansas ranks in the top 15 states in the number of doses administered and we are also giving out the second dose of the vaccine on schedule with a separate supply for the second dose. Our goal is to vaccinate all those who are eligible in the 1-A category by the end of January. This includes health care workers, nursing home residents and staff, and first responders. We expect to meet that objective. We also added to the mix some elements of Phase 1-B, which includes people older than 70, teachers and school staff, and daycare workers. Once we complete these categories, we will go into other essential workers. Those are identified on our Arkansas Department of Health website. You should remember that this is subject to adjustment as we receive additional information and different CDC guidance.
