COVID-19 vaccinatio­n sites have expanded in the Las Vegas Valley, and informatio­n changes quickly as the state works to obtain additional doses.

Eligible are those age 65 and up, healthcare workers, public safety and security, and some in the Frontline Communitu Support group.

First-dose appointmen­ts will not be available this week at the Southern Nevada Health District or its partner clinics, because of delays in vaccine shipments resulting from storms paralyzing parts of the country. The district will administer only second doses next week. First-dose appointmen­ts at the health district and partner clinics will resume March 1.

The City of Las Vegas is offering vaccinatio­n appointmen­ts for those

65 and up and utility workers at two sites on Feb. 24 and 25 from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. each day, according to a release. Each location will offer 300 doses. To register for an appointmen­t at Veteran’s Memorial Community Center, 101 N. Pavilion Center Drive, visit https:// clvveteran­smemorialv­accine.youcanbook.me.

The state has set up a call center to help answer questions about the COVID-19 vaccine at 800-401-0946. Agents will be available 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. seven days a week.

SECOND DOSES

Both Moderna and Pfizer second doses are now being offered at the Las Vegas

Convention Center by appointmen­t. Walkin appointmen­ts are no longer available, the Southern Nevada Health District said Feb. 12. The recommende­d interval for second shots is 28 days for the Moderna vaccine, and 21 days for Pfizer, although they can be administer­ed up to 42 days after the first shot, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The convention center site is at 3150 Paradise Road, in the C-1 area of the facility’s Central Hall and is open Tuesday through Saturday.

The district will be taking only those who got their first doses at these sites or events: the health district offices on Decatur Boulevard, Cashman Center, Western High School, Jerome Mack Middle School and vaccinatio­n clinics hosted by Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, Henderson and Touro University.

People with questions or who need assistance making appointmen­ts can call the health district at 702-759-1900. The line is staffed during business hours, Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Second dose appointmen­ts at the Cashman Center run through Feb. 20. The appointmen­ts are only for people who received their first dose of the Pfizer vaccine on or before Jan. 21, or people who received the first dose of the Moderna vaccine on or before Jan. 15.

Some community clinics are requiring people to return for the second dose at the same location. This includes pharmacies, Roseman University, UMC at Encore and UNLV or CSN. Bring the vaccinatio­n card.
