FEMA mobile vaccination units to make stops in Carson City, Wellington and Silver Springs
FEMA is sending mobile vaccination units to Nevada to support equitable distribution of COVID-19 vaccine to vulnerable populations in rural and tribal areas where limited medical infrastructure exists. The vaccination units were launched Tuesday at the Reno-Sparks Indian Colony.
Anyone over the age of 18 will be eligible to receive a vaccination. No appointment is necessary.
The goal of the U.S. COVID-19 vaccination program is to mount a safe, effective, and comprehensive vaccination campaign.
To achieve this goal, the national vaccination effort will depend on reaching people in all communities across the United States.
Administering vaccine to almost all the US population will depend on having an adequate supply of vaccine and ample, accessible immunization sites that provide access to the vaccine in every community.
The mobile unit will make the following stops in Northern Nevada:
— Thursday, April 8, the unit will be staged for the Washoe Tribe, Carson City at 465 Clear Creek Avenue from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
— Saturday, April 10, the unit will be staged at 3939 Carter Drive in Wellington. Times to be announced.
— Monday, April 12, the unit will be at 620 Lake Street in Silver Springs from 2 to 7 p.m.
— Wednesday, April 14, the unit will be at 2080 Del Ora Avenue in Gerlach. Times to be announced.
— Friday, April 16, the unit will be at 630 Western Avenue in Lovelock from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
