Expect to pay out-of-pocket for over-the-counter COVID-19 tests, for a start.
COVID 19 Vaccine
The Elko County Board of Health is scheduled to meet Wednesday to discuss and consider placing a moratorium on COVID-19 and flu vaccines in the county.
With a new school year approaching, the Clark County School District says it doesn’t have an employee COVID-19 vaccination mandate and its development “has not been necessary.”
Federal officials now say that everyone over 50 should get a second booster. But one critic calls this “booster mania.”
A majority of the patients requiring hospitalization are 70 or older, and the number of people being admitted to the ICU for care or who require mechanical ventilation remain near all-time lows.
Eligibility to receive COVID-19 vaccine has been extended to a new group in Clark County, and it’s not the 65- to 69-year-olds who have been waiting a month.
The COVID-19 testing site at Cashman Center is closing at noon on Friday so that Clark County health officials can increase the capacity to administer vaccine at the site.
Second doses will be available at the clinic based on capacity and when the first vaccine was received.
COVID-19 vaccine clinics scheduled for Wednesday in Nye and Lyon counties have been postponed due to delayed deliveries of vaccine doses.
Many Nevadans who have received their first COVID-19 vaccine dose are close to the recommended time for their second dose and questions are being raised about delays.
