At Tuesday's weekly coronavirus response briefing, Gov. Asa Hutchinson announced the state was on target to vaccinate the 180,000 eligible healthcare workers and long-term care facility residents and staff in phase 1A of the rollout. Given that progress, he said the state would start making the COVID-19 vaccine available to some people in group 1B sooner than originally planned. Arkansans who are 70 and older, as well as teachers and staff who work in K-12 schools, higher education and daycare facilities can start receiving the vaccine on Jan. 18.
