Eligible veterans in Southern Nevada will be able to receive first doses of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine at a North Las Vegas walk-in clinic on Saturday.

Veterans 65-and-older can receive the vaccine from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the North Las Vegas VA Medical Center.

If demand exceeds available supply, eligible veterans will be scheduled for a later date, according to a news release. Veterans who have already received their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine will not be eligible to receive their second dose at this event.

In order to keep accurate count, traffic will be limited to a single point-of-entry through the west entrance to the medical center. Veterans interested in receiving the vaccine must be enrolled with VA Southern Nevada Healthcare System prior to their arrival for the clinic on Saturday, the release said.
