BOULDER CITY (KTNV) — Boulder City is stepping up its vaccination effort with plans to vaccinate more than 1,500 people a week over the next three months.

The city says it plans to administer the Moderna vaccine at the Elaine K Smith building and at the Boulder City Hospital.

The vaccines will be available for people 70 years of age or older and educators, according to officials.

Appointments are required available by calling 702-293-9256.

The line will be open Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

"This is the chance for the residents of this great community to protect themselves from this deadly pandemic, as well as protect their families, friends and neighbors," said Boulder City Mayor Kiernan McManus. "We cannot move forward and get back to normal as long as the cases continue to climb and more of our loved ones are lost to this virus."
