NORTH LAS VEGS (KTNV) — The City of North Las Vegas, in coordination with the Southern Nevada Health District and the Clark County School District, has launched a pre-registration portal for residents aged 70 and older who wish to receive a COVID-19 vaccine, with vaccinations to begin immediately.

Immediately after, the City will begin pre-enrollment for the general public.

In partnership with the Clark County School District, vaccinations will be administered at schools by City and CCSD staff.

Family and friends of seniors who fall in this age group are encouraged to submit information on the senior’s behalf if they do not have a computer or are having difficulties utilizing the registration system.

Seniors ages 70 or older who would like a vaccine may also call (702) 342-8417 for additional assistance, though wait times may be significantly longer than using the online, mobile-friendly platform.
