Vaccine management tool launched to support state response
Carson City, NV – The Nevada Department of Health and Human Services announced the MTX/Salesforce Vaccine Management tool using a Salesforce platform is now live and being used to support vaccination efforts.
“We are very excited to launch this tool in Nevada,” said Julia Peek, Deputy Administrator, Division of Public and Behavioral Health. “This will allow residents to book their appointments more easily and experience a more efficient check in process when they arrive. For our vaccination teams, this will reduce data entry and increase the timeliness of reporting.”
The tool started with a soft launch at one Southern Nevada Health District site in Clark County on Monday with appointment booking and Tuesday with the first clinic check-ins. In the first vaccination event using the system, 126 vaccinations were recorded and 33 new appointments were booked. For Wednesday, 430 first dose and 890 second dose appointments were scheduled and 277 vaccinations were recorded.
Other sites in Clark County and other Nevada counties will go live in the coming weeks.
Highlights of the system:
This statewide system is funded through the Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity Grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at a cost of more than $6 million. It will replace the multiple systems that are being used and streamline vaccine management efforts to be more efficient.

Highlights of the system:
- The system integrates with Nevada WebIZ, the State’s immunization information system, to help more efficiently add vaccination information to the State-required system.
- Patients will have the ability to schedule, change, or move initial vaccination appointments through a mobile app, online form or over the phone. Additionally, paperwork can be signed digitally and texts or emails can be sent to remind patients of upcoming appointments.
- Local health departments will be able to maintain site/event schedules through Salesforce, managed inventory within each site, and manage flow-through of vaccinations.
