“Volunteers of all kinds are what enabled the health department to continue to increase capacity while keeping wait times, crowds, distances’ traveled, low or non-existent,” Clark County Combined Health District Commissioner Charles Patterson said. “Without (volunteers), we would have long lines, unhappy citizens and not as many doses.”
The health district has been administering 1,000 to 2,000 doses of vaccine a week at its vaccination clinics at the former JCPenney at the Upper Valley Mall.
Due to an increase in vaccine allocation, the number of doses the health district usually received double this week and is expected to double again next week, according to the health district.
Residents eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine can schedule an appointment by calling the health district at 937-717-2439 or can schedule online at ccchd.com.
