The pop-up clinic, in one of the Las Vegas Valley’s highest ZIP codes for COVID-19 cases near Nellis and Washington, will operate on a first-come, first-served basis 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Up to 500 people each day can get a COVID-19 vaccination at the clinic. Only those unvaccinated persons who are getting their first shot will receive a $100 gift card, officials said.

The COVID-19 vaccination is available to anyone age 12 and older. Children younger than 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. The Pfizer, Moderna and Janssen vaccines will be available. Third doses of the vaccine will only be available to those who are immune compromised per current U.S. Centers for Disease Control guidelines.
