Alaska has dropped restrictions on who can get a COVID-19 vaccination, opening eligibility to anyone 16 or older who lives or works in the state in a move that Gov. Mike Dunleavy said could help Alaska s pandemic-battered economy. The Republican, who highlighted his own bout with COVID-19 in making the announcement Tuesday, March 9, 2021, said Alaska is the first U.S. state to remove eligibility requirements.Mark Thiessen/APShow MoreShow Less ....
