The Arizona Department of Health Services is working to streamline the registration process for COVID-19 vaccinations at the four state-run sites around Arizona. The department announced Wednesday that appointments for the following week's vaccination slots will now become available every Friday.

In Tucson, that means roughly 12,000 appointments at the state clinic on the UA mall for next week will open up at 11 a.m. on Friday. The new policy also applies to the state pods in Glendale, Phoenix, and Gilbert,

Vaccinations are now available for anyone age 55 and older.
