The development and availability of COVID-19 vaccines are important to everyone. Ensuring as many people as possible are vaccinated is an integral part of our efforts to eradicate the pandemic in our community.
COVID-19 vaccines will help to decrease the number of deaths and serious disease, reduce the extra burden COVID-19 is having on people already facing disparities, help our community return to normal, and increase the opportunity to improve the health and well-being of all Southern Nevadans.
The Southern Nevada Health District is administering COVID-19 vaccine in coordination with the Nevada State Immunization Program and State Public Health Preparedness staff. The vaccine is being received in limited supplies. A phased distribution ensures there is equitable access to the vaccine by the critical populations identified by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Currently two vaccines are offered in Clark County. Click on each one below to learn more.
Pfizer-BioNTech
2 shots, 21 days apart

Help The Seniors In Your Life Get Vaccinated Against Covid-19
The COVID-19 vaccination process can be very confusing. Each county has their own rollout plan with different vaccine locations and sign-up processes and there are scams. Note that COVID-19 vaccines are free of charge and only available from the county health department or a healthcare provider. So please help a senior navigate the system and secure their vaccine. Even if it’s not yet your turn to get vaccinated, you can help end this pandemic.
Make a plan to get your COVID-19 vaccine. Be ready when it’s your turn.
Nevada is prioritizing how the COVID-19 vaccine is distributed to ensure that the people most at risk of serious illness or dying get protected first. Soon it will be your turn to get the vaccine — which requires two separate shots — so it’s time to get ready. Be on the lookout for scams. COVID-19 vaccines are free of charge, so you will never be asked for money or a credit card. And only provide your personal information to the county health department or healthcare providers when you make an appointment.
V-safe After Vaccination Health Checker
V-safe is a smartphone-based tool that uses text messaging and web surveys to provide personalized health check-ins after you receive a COVID-19 vaccination. Through v-safe, you can quickly tell CDC if you have any side effects after getting the COVID-19 vaccine.
