Dear Friends,
We are so thrilled to be seeing so many of our elders getting vaccinated for COVID-19. Each one gets us closer to getting back in our building safely and we miss seeing all of you regularly. If you are 70+ and need help getting signed up for all the different COVID vaccine sites, please reach out to us. At this time, these are all of the resources we are aware of that are available to our Washoe County residents.
- Washoe County Senior Updates
- Smith’s
- Walgreens
- Community Health Alliance
- Renown — instructions here to sign up for a MyChart if you don’t have one already
- VA Hospital — Veterans only
- St Mary’s — when they have a clinic, there will be an entry on this site; if you don’t see something that says COVID clinic, their clinic is full
- DHHS Vaccination Call Center — to answer questions, assist anyone in need of help making an appointment, and provides county-specific updates and information. The call center is open seven days a week from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm at (800)401-0946. Residents can get additional information through NVCOVIDFighter.org and NVHealthResponse.nv.gov.
- Walmart
- Sam’s Club
Don’t hesitate to reach out, whether you need a ride (we have members who are fully vaccinated available to help with this) or someone else to fill out all these internet forms. It can be confusing, and we’re happy to help out. Kol Yisrael aravim zeh bazeh – all of the people of Israel are responsible one for the other!
