LAS VEGAS (AP) — Nevada expects to get 24,000 doses of the newly authorized Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine this week, but state officials have not yet detailed whether the single-shot vaccine will be targeted for use in any particular community.
Some health officials across the U.S. have deliberated about prioritizing the Johnson & Johnson vaccine in mobile clinics or for homeless shelters or other communities where it's harder to ensure someone comes back weeks later for a second shot.
Nevada health officials say they are waiting for more guidance from a federal advisory group. Nevada has seen reports of new cases and hospitalizations drop since mid-January.
