Vaccine clinic offers $100 gift cards

-

A pilot program will offer $100 gift cards to people who get a first or second dose of COVID-19 vaccine on Saturday and Sunday at Eldorado High School in Las Vegas.

The pop-up clinic at the campus at 1139 N. Linn Lane will operate from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. in the school’s gymnasium on a first-come, first-served basis. Up to 500 people each day will receive the gift cards. Some walk-in clients will be accommodat­ed on both days, but appointmen­ts are available at vax4nv.nv.gov.

The Pfizer vaccine will be available to those 12 and older with parental consent. The Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines will be available to anyone 18 and older.

For a limited time, the city of Henderson also is giving $100 Amazon gift cards to those who receive their first or second shot of the COVID-19 vaccine.

The initiative began Sept. 9 at the College of Southern Nevada Henderson Vaccinatio­n POD operated by the Southern Nevada Health District.

Gift cards will be handed out on a first-come, first-served basis during the Vaccinatio­n POD’S operating hours from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday while supplies last. People are encouraged to make appointmen­ts.

The CSN Henderson Vaccinatio­n POD is administer­ing the Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer and Moderna vaccines for Nevadans 12 years of age and older. Children under 18 must be accompanie­d by a parent or guardian. Pfizer is the only vaccine currently authorized for ages 12-17.

The COVID-19 vaccine is deemed safe and effective, and is free and available at Southern Nevada Health District and partner locations in Clark County.
