UPDATE THURSDAY FROM CCHHS: The Quad-County COVID-19 Hotline is experiencing a high call volume. We apologize for the delay in answering your call. If you are on hold longer than 30 minutes, the system will automatically time you out and you will be asked to leave us a voicemail. Due to a large number of voicemails and a high call volume, we are unable to return all calls at this time. If you are calling about the COVID-19 vaccine, please be patient as the number of people trying to book appointments has slowed down the website. If the page is not loading, please refresh your browser. We will be adding more events weekly, so continue to check back for any openings. We appreciate your patience.

Carson City Health and Human Services (CCHHS) is continuing to move forward with COVID-19 vaccinations in the Quad-County Region based on the current federally approved COVID-19 Vaccine Guidance set by the State of Nevada. CCHHS is now offering COVID-19 vaccines to Quad-County residents age 70 years and older.
Beginning Wednesday, Jan. 13, 2021 Quad-County seniors aged 70 and older are now eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. Appointments are required and seniors can register for an appointment at https://bit.ly/2XF64Cp
All Quad-County COVID-19 vaccination events are open to seniors 70 and older.
CCHHS will be offering two events for seniors 70 and older next week. Proof of residency and age will be required at time of vaccination. If an individual does not have a driver’s license, documentation of current address and date of birth will be accepted. For questions or assistance scheduling, call the Quad-County COVID-19 Hotline at 775-434-1988.
CCHHS continues to work with the State to identify different outlets for COVID-19 vaccination in our communities. There is no estimated time for when groups will be eligible for the vaccine. More information on how to get vaccinated will become available as the COVID-19 vaccine roll out progress continues.
Groups will be notified when they are eligible for the vaccine through a variety of ways including community and senior centers, local media, social media, county communications, primary care providers, pharmacies, medical groups, and gethealthycarsoncity.org.
