Alaska first state to open vaccines to all adults
Fox News
Alaska has become the first state to drop eligibility requirements for COVID-19 vaccines and allow anyone 16 or older who lives or works in the state to get a vaccine, Gov. Mike Dunleavy said Tuesday.
He described expanding eligibility for vaccines in Alaska as a "game-changer," particularly with the summer tourist season looming and as the state seeks to rebuild its pandemic-tattered economy. He said he respects those who do not wish to get a vaccine and wanted to relay his personal experience for those mulling vaccination. "I would ask that you give some due consideration," the Republican said.More Related News
