Katie Hobbs issued an executive order that allows all Arizonans to get the COVID-19 vaccine at a pharmacy without a doctor's prescription. Katie Hobbs is challenging new federal COVID-19 vaccine guidelines from Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., issuing an executive order that makes the vaccine available to all state residents. This change implied that others, including healthy adults and children, would need a doctor’s prescription to get the shot from a pharmacy. Hobbs' executive order directs the Arizona Department of Health Services to make vaccines accessible to all who want them. Statement from Arizona Department of Health Services"The Executive Order allows ADHS to issue a ‘standing order’ that serves as a prescription for pharmacists and health care providers to administer COVID vaccines."
