Alaska (AP) — Gov. Mike Dunleavy says Alaska has become the first state to drop eligibility requirements and allow anyone 16 or older who lives or works in the state to get a COVID-19 vaccination.
Dunleavy made the announcement Tuesday following his own bout with COVID-19.
He hailed the move to open up eligibility as a historic step. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention COVID-19 Vaccine Tracker shows
Alaska leading states in the percentage of its population to have received two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine.
