Desert Pines, Cashman offering walk-in 2nd doses of Pfizer vaccines

The Desert Pines High School COVID-19 vaccination clinic will offer first and second doses of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine Wednesday through Friday, according to the Southern Nevada Health District.

First doses of the vaccine are available by appointment only at the clinic at 3800 E. Harris Ave. Some second doses will be available at the clinic on a walk-in basis, depending on capacity and when the first vaccine was received.

The Cashman Center vaccination clinic, which is usually reserved for those with appointments, also will offer second doses for walk-ins on Friday and Saturday as clinic capacity allows and depending on when the first vaccine was received, the health district said Tuesday in a news release.

In a related development, 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 vaccines at the site.

Testing operations at the UNLV Stan Fulton Building will be expanded to seven days a week, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. starting Sunday. The UNLV testing site, located at 801 E. Flamingo Road, just east of Paradise Road, will be closed Friday and Saturday this week before reopening Sunday with its new seven-day-a-week schedule.

Second dose appointment scheduling is available at https://covid.southernnevadahealthdistrict.org/vaccine/second-dose/. People with limited online access also can call the Health District’s COVID-19 helpline with questions or to ask for assistance with canceling or scheduling appointments. The helpline numbers are 702-759-1900 and 702-455-0696. Helpline hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. seven days a week.

If vaccine shipments are delayed by severe weather elsewhere in the U.S., impacting clinics operation, announcements and services updates will be provided to the public, the health district said.
