COCONINO COUNTY — Coconino County was notified by the Arizona Department of Health Services that this week’s shipment of Moderna COVID-19 vaccine continues to be delayed due to extreme weather conditions across the country.

Due to the prolonged delay and limited on-hand vaccine supply, Coconino County and some partner vaccination sites announced they must cancel and reschedule first dose appointments scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 18 and Friday, Feb. 19, and now Saturday, Feb. 20. Fort Tuthill County Park is the only site impacted for Saturday first dose COVID-19 vaccination appointments.

Those affected will be contacted directly by the vaccination site where they are scheduled. Individuals with first dose appointments at the Coconino County Fort Tuthill vaccination site will receive an email with instructions on rescheduling.

At this time, no COVID-19 second dose appointments at Fort Tuthill or other vaccination sites are impacted.

Coconino County will continue to monitor the situation and will provide updates as additional information is available.
