Travelers now eligible to receive COVID-19 vaccination in Alaska
June 1, 2021 ANCHORAGE – Effective today, eligibility for the COVID-19 vaccine has been expanded to include anyone in Alaska who is 12 years of age or older, including visitors to Alaska from other states or countries, not just individuals who live or work in Alaska.
“We hope this helps vaccinate anyone in our state, including visitors, who choose to be immunized against COVID-19,” said Alaska Department of Health and Social Services Commissioner Adam Crum. “We’ve already received calls from tourists who want to be vaccinated here, and some who plan to stay three to four weeks to receive their second vaccine. This benefits visitors to our state as well as Alaskans and Alaska’s economy, too.”
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) continues to require that international travelers, including fully vaccinated U.S. citizens returning home, be tested within three days prior to their flight and again 3-5 days after travel along with self-monitoring for COVID-19 symptoms. Both testing and vaccination services are currently available at the Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Juneau airports. Testing services are also available at Ketchikan, Sitka, Petersburg, Cordova, Gustavus, Wrangell and Yakutat airports.
Like those who live or work here, travelers to Alaska may now receive the vaccine at the airport clinics, or at any clinic or event where COVID-19 vaccine is being offered. For vaccine appointments, visit covidvax.alaska.gov or call 1-833-4-VAXLINE. The helpline hours are 9 a.m. - 6:30 p.m. on weekdays, and 9 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. on weekends. Language interpretation is available.
The three airport vaccination clinics will operate seven days a week and are conveniently located outside of Transportation Security Administration secure areas. These locations are open to anyone, including Alaskans, workers and travelers. Vaccines may change based on availability and hours may be expanded.
