However, if you can get the vaccine from your local primary care physician or another source, do it. In a social media post from the Miller County Emergency Management Coordinator said:
Considering my experience with the lagging response of the ADH, I would suggest not waiting on it to arrive in Arkansas. If any other location will allow you to get the vaccine, I would definitely go there. But that would be the determination of the facility dispensing the vaccine.
