LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Starting June 1, adults and children 12 and older can receive their COVID-19 vaccination at 16 high schools and middle schools across the Las Vegas Valley in an effort to ensure vaccine sites are convenient and accessible throughout the community.

The Southern Nevada Health District will provide the first doses of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine at four schools simultaneously for two days at each location.

Second doses will be available at those same schools 21 days later.
