LAS VEGAS (AP) — People age 55 and older can self-report to their pharmacist any underlying health conditions that make them eligible to receive COVID-19 vaccinations, Nevada health officials said.
As eligibility has broadened in the statewide coronavirus inoculation process, deaths from COVID-19 have fallen to an average of about four per day, state biostatistician Kyra Morgan told a statewide panel on Tuesday. Average deaths during the pandemic peaked at 40 per day in mid-January.
Morgan did not tie vaccinations to recent data showing fewer hospitalizations and deaths.
But “this is really about the best we’ve seen since the beginning of the pandemic,” she told Nevada COVID-19 Task Force members.
