The Nevada National Guard ramped up operations this week at community based collection sites around the state in support of county health districts — not just for testing as it has done since last April, but now also for vaccination distribution.
“As we see a decline in demand for testing and a spike for vaccinations, we are beginning to convert our operations to meet that demand,” said Capt. Titus Roberson, officer in charge at Washoe County’s testing site at the Livestock Events Center in Reno.
Similar drive-thru operations include the Cashman Center in Las Vegas, the state’s largest site dedicated solely to vaccinations. Nevadans wanting vaccinations must make appointments through their county health district before arrival at each site. Availability is based on tier status of each county health district.
