by Marl Cowling | Maricopa Monitor
Pinal County has seen 55,000 COVID-19 vaccine doses administered, Interim County Manager Leo Lew told the Board of Supervisors Wednesday. He noted this is 10,000 more than the county’s number of confirmed cases.
“So we passed that up pretty quick and hopefully we’ll keep zooming as we get more vaccines.”
Lew further noted the county hosted a federal team of 10 vaccinators, who showed up earlier this month without notice. The county’s public health team quickly assembled a temporary vaccination site at the Florence Community Center, where an estimated 1,800 people received their first doses.
