“I know that many in Ward 5 and around the city have been patiently waiting to be vaccinated, and I look forward to additional sites opening as more doses become available,” Ward 5 Councilman Cedric Crear said. “I am thankful that we can prioritize our senior citizens, and I am grateful that we are able to bring these vital vaccinations into the Historic Westside, which has been greatly impacted by this virus.”
Additional appointments became available after Clark County and the city of Las Vegas partnered to double the number of dosages allocated for the Doolittle clinic.
“Clark County is proud to partner with the city of Las Vegas in expanding the number of vaccinations that can take place at the Doolittle Senior Center during this week’s vaccination clinic,” said Clark County Commissioner William McCurdy II, whose Commission District D includes the senior center. “This allows us to share resources and deliver COVID-19 vaccines directly to senior citizens living in some of the hardest-hit neighborhoods in our community.”
