Las Vegas, NV (KXNT) - in a type of event that could only happen in Sin City, Clark County officials provided free COVID-19 vaccines at the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign on Monday night.
“In a time of many firsts, we are taking the vaccine to the world-famous Welcome to Las Vegas sign,” Commissioner Justin Jones said. “The vaccines are safe, effective, and our best weapon against the coronavirus. If you’re not already vaccinated and you want things to get back to normal, meet us at the sign to get your shot.”
Commissioner Jones organized the pop-up vaccination clinic at the Welcome sign with the support of Commissioner Michael Naft, U.S. Rep. Dina Titus, Immunize Nevada and Touro University Nevada, which provided the staff to administer the vaccine.
A photographer took pictures of residents getting vaccinated in front of the iconic landmark, with food trucks set up in the nearby Harley-Davidson parking lot to feed shot-getter and onlookers alike.
