We want to put this virus
behind us — as far as possible,
as soon as possible. , Gov. Mike Dunleavy,

The move makes Alaska the first state to
allow vaccine access to all of its residents age 16 or older.
The Pfizer vaccine will be available to those 16 and
older, while the Moderna and Johnson & Johnson
vaccines are available to those 18 and older.

rollout accelerates, with roughly 2.15 million
doses being administered daily.
