Vaccines

 

  • AR COVID-19 Vaccination Plan  -  AR Department of Health's coordinated plan for vaccinations. It provides information on Phases of vaccine rollout plus statistics on statistics on doses received and given.
  • Vaccinate Arkansas   -  COVID-19 has been devastating to our communities. But now, thanks to the availability of new COVID-19 vaccines, we have an important tool to fight the pandemic. We need help from community leaders to equip community members with accurate information about the vaccines.
  • Vaccinate You Family  -  Vaccinate Your Family (VYF) builds on the important legacy of Former First Lady Rosalynn Carter and Former First Lady of Arkansas Betty Bumpers. Together, these pioneers worked to advance a national focus on protecting all people in the United States from vaccine-preventable diseases.
  • Arkansas COVID-19 Vaccine Pharmacies [Arkansas Pharmacists Association] - Lists of pharmacies by county and city providing COVID-19 vaccines to groups within Phase 1B of rollout.
  • Arkansas COVID-19 Vaccination Locations - Arkansans who are 65 or older and those who work in education are eligible to get the COVID-19 vaccination. There won’t be enough vaccine available for everyone at first, but we will get additional supply each week and will work to make it available as quickly as possible.
  • COVID-19 Vaccine Monitoring Systems for Pregnant People - If you are pregnant, you might choose to be vaccinated when a vaccine is available to you. Currently, there is no evidence that COVID-19 vaccination causes any problems with pregnancy, including the development of the placenta. However, data are limited about the safety of COVID-19 vaccines for people who are pregnant. Because of this, CDC and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have safety monitoring systems in place to capture information about vaccination during pregnancy and will closely monitor that information.

  • Vaccination Considerations for People who are Pregnant or Breastfeeding  -  .CDC and the independent Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) have provided information to assist pregnant people with their decision to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. At this time, ACIP recommends that certain groups (e.g., healthcare personnel, followed by other frontline essential workers) are offered vaccination during the first months of the COVID-19 vaccination program. People who are pregnant and part of a group recommended to receive the COVID-19 vaccine may choose to be vaccinated. If they have questions about getting vaccinated, a discussion with a healthcare provider might help them make an informed decision.

  • COVID-19 Vaccine Comparison Chart As more and more people in the U.S. become eligible to get vaccinated, the hope of a return to normalcy by summer seems attainable. While herd immunity may never be achieved, the increased availability of effective vaccines puts the U.S. in a much better position than many other countries.
