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.
An unknown number of skilled nursing homes and assisted living facilities that didn’t qualify under the federally run program have been left to fend for themselves.
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.
O.J. Simpson, the NFL great who was acquitted of murdering his ex-wife but later spent years in prison after a conviction on armed robbery charges, received his coronavirus vaccine in Las Vegas.
The head of the Southern Nevada Health District said it will be “several weeks” before COVID-19 vaccine becomes available to those in the general public in this age group.
While some Clark County educators received their first doses of the vaccine last week, many others met with disappointment during a confusing rollout.
Southern Nevada Health District posted Monday morning that “frontline community support” workers can schedule an appointment.
“Our primary goal is to ensure we don’t let any doses go to waste. We want to maximize every dose that comes into the state — and avoid expired or unused doses,” he said.
The first dose of COVID-19 vaccine was given to a Las Vegas ICU nurse on Monday.
With the first COVID-19 vaccine expected to arrive in Nevada on Monday, officials are making final preparations to distribute doses to health care workers.
