Nevada DMV supports Get Out The Vaccine initiative
Las Vegas, NV – Today, the Clark County Get Out The Vaccine (GOTVax) initiative and Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) announce a partnership to provide COVID-19 vaccination for Southern Nevada residents and visitors.
Starting Friday, August 27, vaccination will be available at three Clark County DMV locations Friday-Monday evenings. Previously vaccine clinics had been available for DMV patrons during regular business hours.
“From the start, I said we would use every state resource available to support our COVID-19 vaccination effort, and I’m thankful that the DMV is expanding vaccination opportunities and hours at three of their offices in Southern Nevada,” said Governor Steve Sisolak. “Adding more evening clinics at our DMV locations helps us meet Nevadans where they are and I encourage everyone to take advantage of this convenient opportunity.”
“We’re proud to do our part in making vaccination accessible and convenient. The Las Vegas DMV offices are centrally located in their neighborhoods and have plenty of parking and space,” said DMV Director Julie Butler.
Vaccinators and clinical administrative support from the GOTVax team will operate the clinics at DMV facilities. Accessibility support including spoken language services, assistive listening devices, American Sign Language video interpreting and magnifiers for people with low-vision will be available. All three sites are wheelchair accessible.
The State of Nevada is working with state agencies, local governments and many community partners to ensure the COVID-19 vaccine is available in locations and at times convenient to Nevadans.
The GOTVax initiative includes ensuring residents know where they can receive the vaccine and providing answers to their questions. One focus of the effort has been community canvassing and the volunteers recently passed the milestone of a quarter million public information materials distributed since the initiative began.
“By partnering with Nevada DMV, it is our intent to give shift workers in the valley access to the vaccine during hours that work with their schedules,” said GOTVax Incident Commander Sharon Luce. “Thank you to the DMV for partnering with us and providing residents more options to get vaccinated against COVID-19. We know it takes all of us working together to protect the health of our communities and I hope these convenient locations and hours of operation will be an asset to this effort.”
GOTVax was launched with the goal of increasing COVID-19 vaccination rates in Southern Nevada. The mission is supported by local volunteers, State and local staff and resources, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
The COVID-19 vaccine is available for all those 12 years of age and older and is free for everyone. Insurance is not required.
If individuals need further assistance in finding the most convenient vaccination location, an updated site schedule has been added under the Clark County tab at NVCOVIDFighter.org or call the hotline at 800-401-0946.
