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.
Southern Nevada COVID-19 vaccine clinics are giving healthy Nevadans 16 and older the chance to make appointments ahead of Monday’s expanded eligibility.

The Southern Nevada Health District on Friday received its first allotment of the new single-dose coronavirus vaccine.
The Nevada Department of Corrections began administering coronavirus vaccines to the first state prisoners this week, officials announced Thursday.
Wednesday and Thursday’s COVID-19 vaccination appointments at two Las Vegas sites are now full for utility workers and those 65 and older, city officials announced Saturday.
Appointments for the second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine will be available next week at the Cashman Center, the Southern Nevada Health District announced Friday.
The long lines at the Las Vegas Convention Center were in part due to a high number of people seeking walk-in appointments, the Southern Nevada Health District said.
Updated figures from the Department of Health and Human Services brought cumulative totals for the state to 285,795 cases and 4,582 deaths.
Walk-ins for people who need the second COVID-19 vaccine began Friday at the Las Vegas Convention Center, but only for those who received their first dose at least 28 days ago.
Clark County School District employees can now register for future appointments to get COVID-19 vaccines after confusion at vaccination sites last week.
The Cashman Center will be closed for COVID-19 vaccinations through the weekend, but new appointments will be available soon, officials announced Thursday.
The health district announced it received its first shipment of the Moderna vaccine, the second drug to win emergency authorization from the federal government.
Nevada will receive 42 percent fewer doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine next week, one of 13 states reporting that their expected second shipments have been reduced by the federal government.
