Rescheduled COVID-19 vaccination events this week
Carson City Health and Human Services has received their shipment of COVID-19 vaccine and the dates for the previously rescheduled COVID-19 vaccination events have been set. Appointments were not canceled. Those who had an appointment for a rescheduled event will not need to make another appointment.

The dates for the rescheduled events are as follows:
The 2nd dose event at the Lyon County Fairgrounds in Yerington
— Originally scheduled for February 17, 2021 (was previously rescheduled for February 19, 2021)
— Rescheduled for: Tuesday, February 23, 2021 at the Lyon County Fairgrounds in Yerington

The 1st dose event at the Douglas County Fairgrounds in Gardnerville
— Originally scheduled for February 18, 2021
— Rescheduled date: Thursday, February 25, 2021 at the Douglas County Fairgrounds

The 2nd dose event at Carson Valley Inn
— Originally scheduled for February 20th – 21st at the Douglas County Senior Center
— Rescheduled for: Saturday, February 27, 2021 at the Douglas County Senior Center or Douglas County Fairgrounds (recipients will be notified of the location once their appointment is rescheduled).

Those who were scheduled to receive their vaccines at these events will not need to make another appointment. Patients will receive an email confirmation of their vaccine appointment with the new date. If the patient does not have an email, they will receive a phone call from CCHHS notifying them of the rescheduled date.

The second dose events that are rescheduled were for Moderna second doses. The Moderna COVID-19 vaccine is a series vaccine consisting of two doses administered 28 days apart. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Moderna COVID-19 vaccines may be administered up to 6 weeks (42 days) after the first dose without changing the efficacy of the vaccine.

All other events that were previously scheduled for this week will be held as planned without any adjustments.

Events are by appointment only. Those without an appointment and those who are not eligible will be turned away. Questions? Call the Quad-County COVID-19 Hotline Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at (775) 434-1988.

Quad-County COVID-19 Dashboard
CCHHS announces a new Quad-County COVID-19 dashboard. The dashboard can be found on our website https://gethealthycarsoncity.org/novel-coronavirus-2019/

The dashboard includes a breakdown of cases by county, zip code, race, ethnicity, age, and gender.

The Quad-County COVID-19 Dashboard is updated regularly at 5 p.m. Data is provided by CCHHS and is based on preliminary laboratory findings. County statistics may be adjusted as investigations are completed and data is updated.

Additionally, these are laboratory-based data which may reflect some results on patients that live outside of the Quad-County Region (Carson City, Douglas, Lyon, and Storey County). These cases will be removed once the epidemiological investigation is performed and addresses are verified.

For those who are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 or have questions, call the Quad-County COVID-19 Hotline Monday through Friday, 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. Spanish speakers are available. The phone number is (775) 434-1988.
