The Arizona Department of Health Services has opened a state-run vaccination site in Flagstaff to inoculate residents against the COVID-19 virus with a vaccine made by Pfizer and BioNTech.

The vaccine site launched this week at Northern Arizona University’s Union Fieldhouse. This indoor vaccination site will operate seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., with the potential to expand hours to 7 p.m.

It will offer around 1,000 appointments per day to start but will be able to administer more than 4,000 doses daily. Walk-ins are welcome.

Appointments can be made by visiting podvaccine.azdhs.gov or calling 1-844-542-8201. Both have resources available in English and Spanish.
