Gov. Steve Sisolak announced that more than 1 million COVID-19 vaccines have been administered in the state of Nevada as of Thursday.
“This milestone marks a significant moment as Nevadans fight to end the pandemic, but this milestone doesn’t happen without the individual contributions of so many,” said Sisolak in a video address. “Thank you to our state and local emergency managers, the Nevada National Guard, FEMA staff on the ground in Nevada, our public health officials, and all of the health care workers vaccinating Nevadans. And thank you to all those who have chosen to be vaccinated and to all who are patiently waiting your turn and continuing the mitigation measures we know work.”
The data is coming from the state and pharmacy allocations that have been reported to Nevada WebIZ.
Pfizer and Moderna vaccines both require two doses, 21 and 28 days apart, respectively. As of Thursday 367,732 Nevadans had been fully vaccinated, either with the two required shots or through the one-dose Janssen vaccine.
