🌱 COVID Vaccine For Six Month Old Children + Yuma Improvement Funds

Hello, friends. Danielle Fallon-O'Leary here with your Wednesday edition of the Yuma Daily, full of everything you need to know about what's happening in town. Here goes...

First, today's weather:

Hot; a stray morning t-shower. High: 106 Low: 80.

Here are the top three stories today in Yuma:

1. Children as young as six months old will now be able to receive the Pfizer and Moderna COVID vaccine. The Yuma Regional Medical Center reports that this will be a major step in the right direction during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. To receive the vaccine, please click on this link for a list of clinic locations within Yuma. (KYMA)
2. Arizona at Work will be hosting a Veterans Job Fair on Wednesday, Jun. 29. The fair will be held at the Martin Luther King Jr. Neighborhood Center from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The families of veterans are also invited to attend. The fair will be hosting at least 20 employers. (KYMA)
3. The Arizona budget could provide funding for improvements of US 95 at Yuma Proving Ground. The budget proposes $1.6 million for the improvement project. Lawmakers do not want the improvement project funds to be seen as "pork" by the public but as vital road infrastructure funding. (KAWC)
