Over the cries of protesters, public health officials urge parents to get their kids inoculated as community clinics begin administering pediatric doses of COVID-19 vaccine.
As the delta wave of COVID-19 recedes, optimism has crept into the public discussion: Could the worst be behind us? Experts say it could be, but many unknowns remain.
Nevada’s higher education system will require employees to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, with a Dec. 1 target date for implementation.
One official says the new vaccine clinic on seating near the 50-yard line in the Las Vegas Raiders’ stadium offers a $50,000 view.
The health district’s chief health officer says about 50 percent of eligible Clark County residents 16 and older has received at least one shot of COVID-19 vaccine. Clark County has set a threshold of 60 percent before fully reopening.
COVID-19 vaccines finally are headed for more kids as U.S. regulators on Monday expanded use of Pfizer’s shot to those as young as 12, sparking a race to protect middle and high school students before they head back to class in the fall.
Instead, officials urged the public to ensure people in the 65-to-69 age group knew they were eligible for immunization and how to schedule appointments.
All of the Clark County School District’s approximately 42,000 employees, as well as those of public charter schools, are now eligible to make appointments for the COVID-19 vaccine, the district said Wednesday.
“The hope is that we can make Las Vegas, the health (and) safety capital of the world,” said Jim Murren, head of the state’s COVID-19 Response, Relief and Recovery Task Force.
