2025/2026 COVID-19 Vaccine Information for Arizona

Currently, Desert Ridge Family Physicians does not have the COVID vaccine in stock.  We are currently evaluating how we can offer the 2025/2026 COVID vaccine.

How to get the 2025/2026 COVID vaccine from a pharmacy now

Beginning on 9/23/2025, getting your COVID vaccine from a pharmacy will be easier in Arizona.  The Arizona Dept of Health Services has issued a standing prescription to authorize pharmacists to give the COVID vaccine without requiring an additional prescription from a physician.  This applies to adults and children.

For those interested in receiving the 2025/2026 COVID Vaccine, contact your pharmacy of choice.  You do not need to request a prescription from your doctor.

There are four approved versions of the 2025/2026 COVID Vaccine:
  • Spikevax (Moderna)
  • mNexspike (Moderna)
  • Comirnaty (Pfizer)
  • Nuvaxovid (Novavax) will be available soon
If you have questions or concerns that you would like your Physician’s input on, please schedule a visit (either in person or via telehealth).
