LAS VEGAS (AP) — Initial deliveries of the nation's first COVID-19 vaccine began arriving in Nevada Monday but health officials said it's not expected to have an immediate impact on the state's surge of reported cases, hospitalizations and deaths.
Officials say people should continue to follow restrictions that aim to stop the spread of the coronavirus. Nevada Department of Public and Behavioral Health Deputy Administrator Julia Peek said Monday that Nevadans should not consider the vaccine a "silver bullet," because the initial distribution is limited and requires a second dose a few weeks later.
Nevada on Monday reported 2,579 new COVID-19 cases.
