Governor Mike Dunleavy made the announcement and shared details about the initiative, which will allow anybody coming into the state to get a vaccine dose for free if they want it.

"You come to visit Alaska, you get a shot. You don't have to pay for it, we'll have things set up at the airport and we'll help you out," Dunleavy said.

Travellers coming into or leaving Alaska at four major airports in the state will have the opportunity to get at least one dose of Pfizer or Moderna.

Vaccination clinics will be set up outside of security at the Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau and Ketchikan international airports starting on June 1.
