by Washoe County | Aug 18, 2021 | Press Release
Aug. 18, 2021. Reno/Sparks, NV – Starting today, Washoe County residents who are immunocompromised can now receive a third dose of the Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccines at the Reno-Sparks Livestock Events Center drive-through clinic or Health District Community Vaccine Events if they meet certain criteria outlined by the Food & Drug Administration.
Those who received the Janssen (Johnson & Johnson) vaccine are not eligible for the third dose. At this time, only those immunocompromised are eligible for a third dose and this is separate from impending announcements about booster shots for those who’ve been fully vaccinated for more than eight months.
The Washoe County Health District joins CVS Pharmacy and Walgreens Pharmacy as organizations in Washoe County who received permission from the State of Nevada to begin administering additional doses, which have been shown to offer better protection from COVID-19 for those who need it most. Some doctor’s offices also have the ability to administer third doses.
Eligibility
Those eligible include, but are not limited to, people who have:
- Been receiving active cancer treatment for tumors or cancers of the blood
- Received an organ transplant and are taking medicine to suppress the immune system
- Received a stem cell transplant within the last 2 years or are taking medicine to suppress the immune system
- Moderate or severe primary immunodeficiency (such as DiGeorge syndrome, Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome)
- Advanced or untreated HIV infection
- Active treatment with high-dose corticosteroids or other drugs that may suppress the immune response
Residents must bring proof of vaccination card to the appointment. Those with questions about their vaccination card should request that information through WebIZ.
Those who meet the above conditions will only be given the third dose if it has been at least 28 days since the last dose of either Pfizer or Moderna. The third dose, which is identical to the doses that have been administered all along, must be the same vaccine type as administered for the first/second doses. The Janssen (Johnson & Johnson) vaccine was not authorized for an additional dose of COVID-19 vaccine at this time.
How to get the third shot?
- Reno-Sparks Livestock Events Center (RSLEC) – Those who are eligible can visit the drive-through vaccine location at 1350 N Wells Ave in Reno (enter at Wells Avenue and Sadleir Way intersection).
- No appointment is needed at this time.
- Hours of operation are Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays from 8:30-11:30 a.m.; Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
- CVS Pharmacy locations in Washoe County
- Walgreen’s Pharmacy locations in Washoe County
What to bring
For third doses at the RSLEC, residents must bring their COVID-19 vaccination card. If you do not have your card, request your information through the state’s immunization portal, WebIZ. When you arrive at RSLEC, you will fill out paperwork self-attesting to your immunocompromising condition. For those looking for an appointment, there is currently not an option on our online sign up form. That feature will be added as soon as possible.
For third doses at CVS and Walgreens, please contact those organizations with questions.
Difference between ‘booster’ and ‘third dose’
This additional dose has been referred to as a “booster,” which is technically inaccurate. A booster is for non-immunocompromised people as it supports immune responses that have weakened over time. A third dose is for those who didn’t have a strong enough immune response after the first series because of their condition.

by Washoe County | Aug 16, 2021 | Press Release
Aug. 16, 2021. Reno/Sparks, NV – The Regional Information Center is reporting two unfortunate COVID-19 milestones from over the weekend: 700 COVID-19-related deaths and 50,000 COVID-19 cases in Washoe County.
The total number of COVID-19-related deaths in Washoe County is at 706 and COVID-19 cases reported are 50,167.
COVID-19 transmission and hospitalizations are rising rapidly in Washoe County and residents are reminded to take mask wearing seriously as it is required per Governor Sisolak’s Directive 47 and to get a COVID-19 vaccine. Here’s a summary of data showing the high transmission:
- 15 – COVID-19-related deaths reported in August so far. In both June and July, six were reported, respectively.
- 136 – Residents hospitalized with confirmed or suspected COVID-19 according to the Nevada Hospital Association. On Aug. 1, it was 50.
- 80% – Percentage of staff hospital beds occupied reported on Aug. 15. On Aug. 1, it was 61%. On Aug. 13, it was 83%.
- 3 – 7-day moving average for new cases per day in Washoe County. On Aug. 1, it was 105.3.
- 4% – Positivity rate in Washoe County, per NV Health Response dashboard. On Aug. 1, it was 11.7%.
“The impact COVID-19 and the Delta variant are having on everyone in Washoe County, in particular hospitals, is reaching a breaking point,” said Kevin Dick, District Health Officer in Washoe County. “Our healthcare system and public health systems are facing the same labor shortages as retail and service industry and likely cannot support another surge at the same level we faced in the winter.
“If you are still waiting for more time to pass by to get the COVID-19 vaccine or refuse to wear a mask in public, be aware of the inherent risks of failing to do so. Vaccines are over 90% effective at keeping you out of the hospital or dying from COVID-19, and masks block respiratory droplets to reduce disease transmission. Please do your part.”
COVID-19 vaccines are widely available in Washoe County at local pharmacies and grocery stores, as well as at the Reno-Sparks Livestock Events Center on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays from 8:30-11:30 a.m. You can walk in or sign up for an appointment here. Vaccines cannot be administered if you are sick or have COVID-19 currently.
Several Community Vaccine Sites are planned this week, including the Boys & Girls Club locations on Neil Road, in Lemmon Valley and on 9th Street, and at the Joe Crowley Student Union at the University of Nevada – see the list here.
Other important reminders are:
- Wear a mask when in public indoor settings and crowded outdoor settings
- Stay home when you don’t feel well
- Socially distance
- Check the Truckee Meadows COVID Risk Meter on our COVID-19 Dashboard (Look for “Risk Meter” tab) if you’re wondering how the risk level is increasing or decreasing. The meter is currently at “Very High”
The COVID-19 dashboard has more information regarding COVID-19 in Washoe County. Please note that only 701 COVID-19-related deaths are reported on the dashboard today but we received notification of five more (706 total) that will show up tomorrow on the dashboard. Three of the 706 deaths were vaccinated.
COVID-19 third dose update
The Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) recommends that people whose immune systems are compromised moderately to severely should receive an additional dose of the Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine after the initial 2 doses.
The third dose will be available this week at the Reno-Sparks Livestock Events Center. More information will be distributed once details are finalized. Check COVID19Washoe.com and our COVID19Washoe Twitter page for updated information as it is released.
Some refer to this dose as a “booster,” which is technically incorrect. An additional dose is given to people who may not have had a strong enough immune response after receiving the initial vaccine series. A booster dose is a supplemental dose given to groups whose immune response has weakened over time. No booster doses are recommended at this time. This may change as more information becomes available.
The additional dose would need to be administered 28 days after a two-dose regimen of either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines. Those who have received the Janssen (Johnson & Johnson) vaccine are not eligible for an additional dose at this time, per the CDC and Food & Drug Administration.
Updates to disease investigations in Washoe County
Due to the surge in COVID-19 cases, the Washoe County Health District is prioritizing disease investigation and contact tracing for pediatric cases aged 5-11 due to the fact they are ineligible to be vaccinated and the rise in cases at local schools.
Those who have recently been diagnosed with COVID-19 are asked to reach out on their own to close contacts who’ve been closer than 6 feet for at least 15 minutes in a 24-hour timeframe to notify them. CDC guidance says those who are fully vaccinated (two weeks since second Pfizer/Moderna shot or two weeks since one-dose Janssen shot) do not need to quarantine unless they are showing symptoms. Unvaccinated individuals must quarantine per CDC guidance after being exposed to someone with COVID-19.
Those who are confirmed to have COVID-19 will be sent a text notifying them that a Washoe County disease investigator will contact them by phone soon. Disease investigators will also leave a voicemail with a call-back number if you are unavailable. In order to reduce the spread of COVID-19, it’s imperative that you cooperate with disease investigators and ensure that your voice mailbox is not full.
COVID-19 Testing at Reno-Sparks Livestock Event Center and results
COVID-19 testing at the Reno-Sparks Livestock Events Center (RSLEC) has expanded to five days a week, Monday-Friday, from 8:30-11:30 a.m. To sign up, go here (en Espanol). Previously, testing was done Mondays, Wednesday and Fridays at RSLEC, but due to increased demand the availability increased. Vaccines remain available only on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and you can schedule an appointment here (en Espanol).
COVID-19 test samples are sent to the Nevada State Public Health Laboratory and results usually take between 24-36 hours. The Washoe County COVID-19 Incident Management Team is working with area labs to reduce the amount of time it takes to get a test result back.
Pregnancy, fertility and COVID-19
According to the CDC, COVID-19 vaccination is recommended for all people 12 years and older, including people who are pregnant, breastfeeding, trying to get pregnant now, or might become pregnant in the future. More information can be found here.
There is currently no evidence that any vaccines, including COVID-19 vaccines, cause fertility problems in women or men.

“Si espera que más tiempo pase para vacunarse contra COVID-19 o reúsa usar su tapabocas en público, sea consciente de los riesgos inherentes en no hacerlo. Las vacunas tienen una eficacia del 90% de mantenerlo fuera del hospital o de morir debido a COVID-19, y los tapabocas bloquean las gotitas respiratorias para reducir la transmisión de enfermedad. Favor de hacer su parte.”

Actualización sobre la 3ra dosis de
Los Centros de Control y Prevención de Enfermedades (CDC) recomiendan a las personas cuyos sistemas inmunológicos están comprometidos moderada o severamente a que reciban una dosis adicional de las vacunas contra COVID-19 Pfizer o Moderna después de las primeras dos dosis.
La tercera dosis estará disponible esta semana en el Centro de Eventos Livestock de Reno-Sparks. Mas información será distribuida en cuanto se finalicen los detalles. Revise COVID19Washoe.com y nuestra página de Twitter OVID19Washoe para información actualizada a medida que se publique.
Algunos se refieren a esta dosis como “refuerzo”, lo cual es técnicamente incorrecto. Una dosis adicional se da a personas quienes no han tenido un resultado inmunológico lo suficientemente fuerte después de recibir la serie inicial de vacunas. Una dosis de refuerzo es una dosis suplementaria que se da a grupos cuya respuesta inmunológica se ha debilitado con el tiempo. No se recomiendan refuerzos en este momento. Esto puede cambiar a medida que haya más información disponible.
Se necesitar administrar la dosis adicional 28 días después del régimen de dos-dosis ya sea de la vacuna Pfizer o Moderna. Aquellos que han recibido la vacuna Janssen (Johnson y Johnson) no son elegibles para recibir una dosis adicional en este momento, según los CDC y la Administración de Alimentos y Medicamentos.
Actualizaciones sobre investigaciones de enfermedad en el Condado de Washoe
Debido al aumento de casos de COVID-19, el Distrito de Salud del Condado de Washoe está priorizando la investigación de enfermedades y rastreo de contactos para los casos pediátricos de 5 a 11 años debido al hecho de que son inelegibles para ser vacunados y al aumento de casos en las escuelas locales.
Se pide a aquellos que han sido diagnosticados con COVID-19 recientemente a que por su cuenta notifiquen a sus contactos con los que han estado cerca a menos de 6 pies y más de 15 minutos en un periodo de 24 horas. La guía de los CDC dice que aquellos que están totalmente vacunados (dos semanas desde su segunda vacuna de Pfizer/Moderna o dos semanas desde la única dosis de la vacuna Janssen) no necesitan estar en cuarentena al menos que demuestren sintomas. Aquellos que no estén vacunados debe estar en cuarentena según la guía de los CDC después haber sido expuestos a alguien con COVID-19.
Aquellos que están confirmados con COVID-19 recibirán un mensaje de texto notificándoles que un investigador de enfermedades del Condado de Washoe se comunicará con ellos pronto. Los investigadores de enfermedades también dejaran correos de voz con un numero de contacto si no está usted disponible.

by Washoe County | Aug 9, 2021 | Press Release
Aug. 9, 2021. Reno/Sparks, NV – As the new school year begins and the cooler fall season around the corner, the Regional Information Center is reminding residents and business owners that, per Gov. Sisolak’s Directive 47, Washoe County has indoor masking requirements to help our local businesses thrive, and businesses are to require employees and customers to wear masks indoors.
COVID-19 cases in Washoe County are surging, largely due to the Delta variant:
- The 7-day moving average for new COVID-19 cases is at 146.3 (up from 22.7 on July 9)
- The test positivity rate in Washoe County is at 15.4% (up from 5% on July 11)
- The Truckee Meadows COVID Risk Meter is at “High”, which indicates elevated risk of community spread
- According to the Nevada Hospital Association, there are 97 patients hospitalized who are confirmed or suspected to have COVID-19 (up from 25 on July 9)
The Washoe County’s COVID-19 Mitigation Plan states that restrictions may be reinstated when the community hits certain risk benchmarks, such as if the Risk Meter reaches “Very High” and if cases per 100,000 over a 30-day period reach 625 (currently at 545 according to NV Health Response dashboard).
Residents can take several steps to slow the spread and help return the community to the low-risk state it was in earlier this summer:
- Stay home when ill
- Get vaccinated
- Wear a mask when indoors at businesses and public places
- Practice basic hygiene by washing hands frequently
- Keep a safe distance from others in crowded areas
The COVID-19 vaccine is paramount in reducing the risk of hospitalization and death from COVID-19. While the vaccine is not 100 percent effective, it is highly effective and has been proven to lessen the severity of symptoms if you do get COVID-19. Vaccines are widely available in Washoe County at local pharmacies and grocery stores, as well as at the Reno-Sparks Livestock Events Center on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 8:30-11:30 a.m. You can walk in or sign up for an appointment here.
Those with underlying health conditions are especially encouraged to find a vaccine clinic convenient to them and begin the process of getting fully vaccinated. It is essential that those who receive a two-dose vaccine like the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines receive both doses to ensure the maximum protection possible. If you’ve had COVID-19 in the past, that does not mean you won’t get the disease again. A study showed that those who were previously infected but did not get vaccinated were 2.34 times more likely to be reinfected with COVID-19 compared with those who were previously infected and did get fully vaccinated.

Ago. 9, 2021. Reno/Sparks, NV – A medida que empieza el nuevo año escolar y las temperaturas bajas del otoño se acercan, el Centro Regional de Información recuerda a sus residentes y dueños de negocios que, por la directriz 47 del gobernador Sisolak, el Condado de Washoe tiene requisitos para entornos bajo techo para ayudar a nuestros negocios locales a prosperar, se pide también que los negocios requieran a sus empleados y clientes a usar tapabocas en los interiores.
Los casos de COVID-19 en el Condado de Washoe están aumentando, en gran parte debido a la variante Delta:

- Según la Asociación de Hospitales de Nevada, hay 97 pacientes hospitalizados quienes se ha confirmado o sospechado tener COVID-19 (un aumento de los 25 del 9 de julio)
El Plan de Mitigación de COVID-19 del Condado de Washoe afirma que las restricciones podrían ser restablecerse cuando la comunidad llego a ciertos puntos de riesgo, tal como si el Medidor de Riesgo lleva a “Muy Alto” y si los casos por 100,000 habitantes dentro de un periodo de 30-dias llega a 625 (actualmente estamos a 545 según el boletín de la Responsiva en Nevada).
Los residentes pueden tomar varios pasos para detener la propagación y ayudar a que la comunidad a regresar a su estado de bajo riesgo en el que se encontraba a principios del verano:
- Quédese en caso cuando este enfermo
- Vacúnese
- Use tapabocas en los interiores en los negocios y entornos públicos
- Practique higiene básica como lavarse las manos frecuentemente
- Mantenga su distancia de otros en áreas conglomeradas
