Official: Thousands Without Nevada Addresses Vaccinated Here

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) — The head of Nevada's coronavirus response effort acknowledges that almost 58,000 people who received coronavirus vaccine shots in the state didn't provide in-state addresses.

But COVID-19 Task Force chief Caleb Cage said that's a small number compared with the nearly 1.7 million doses of vaccine administered in the state and is not a cause for concern.

Vaccinations are now offered to anyone 16 and older in every state. In Nevada, health officials reported upticks in the statewide test positivity rate, to 5.9%, and added 698 new cases and three deaths to totals posted on the state coronavirus website.

How is Las Vegas' healthcare system really doing, and what does it mean for you and your family? Desert Companion's Health Issue takes a deep dive into these questions and explores how heart-centered business leaders prove that doing good benefits the bottom line.
