If you are under 40, you need to assume you became infected during the Thanksgiving period if you gathered beyond your immediate household. — PolitiTweet.org

….where anyone is unmasked due to the immediate risk to your health; you should have groceries and medications delivered. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak
The COVID risk to all Americans is at a historic high. It must be made clear that if you are over 65 or have significant health conditions, you should not enter any indoor public spaces — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak
I want to conclude with one more quote from this week’s White House report – an important message that must be heard by all Nevadans: — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak
Thank you to Shannon, Candice & their entire team for their tireless work on this vaccination rollout plan. This rollout is unlike any other, and I am proud of the work they have done to engage with state and local officials to be prepared for this moment. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak
The program is working hard to be prepared to get the vaccine to our immunizing providers once it has been approved and we are updating Nevada’s vaccine playbook with additional details as they are thoughtfully planned to support this response. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak
This is the system that the immunization program uses every day for the influenza vaccine and the Vaccines for Children program. We are able to keep updated on how much of the vaccine has been used and how much is still on hand. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak
The NV WebIZ system is widely used by Nevada’s immunizing providers and Nevada state law requires that all vaccines given must be entered in the system. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak
Once a vaccine is approved, we anticipate weekly allocations and each county is able to submit their request for the vaccine. These requests and the monitoring of vaccination and distribution will run through Nevada’s Immunization Information System, Nevada WebIZ. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak
The COVID-19 vaccine will not be released unless it is deemed safe and effective, but these common side effects are an important consideration while we all work to protect the health of our communities. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak
As we have planned for vaccine rollout we are working with our medical facilities to ensure only a portion of the staff receive the vaccine at one time in order to not create a potential staffing shortage. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak
As with other vaccines, a low-grade fever and a sore arm are indications the vaccine is doing its job, but it may impact our medical workforces ability to do theirs for a short amount of time. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak
We are working with all Nevada counties to finalize their plans to vaccinate their Tier One population. An important consideration when vaccinating medical facility staff is the potential for anticipated side effects. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak
Of this first vaccine allocation, a portion will also be set aside for CVS and Walgreens – our pharmacy partners -- who will vaccinate members of our vulnerable population who work and reside in long term care facilities. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak
Tier One also includes other medical provider types, correctional facility staff and law enforcement. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak
Our framework of priority populations begins with those at highest risk for contracting COVID-19 and those who we are all depending on to take care of us -- our critical infrastructure workforce in hospitals and medical facilities. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak
It is important to remember that when a vaccine is approved for use and allocated to individual states, the tiers we developed will outline who is eligible to receive the vaccine. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak
Shannon: As Candice said, Nevada’s playbook outlines the tiered populations that will receive the first doses of the COVID-19 vaccine. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak
Allocations of the COVID-19 vaccine will be made based on population and we will use the tiered approach, in alignment with Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices guidance, to ensure our front line medical providers receive the first doses. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak
We continue to work with our partners statewide to share this information, ensure vaccinators are enrolled and initial orders are submitted. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak
We told you previously about the ultra-cold storage needed for the COVID-19 vaccine. The Pfizer vaccine will require ultra-cold storage, but the Moderna vaccine will not. Both vaccines require two doses be administered with a set timeframe in between. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak
The Nevada State Immunization Program is receiving regular updates on both vaccines and how they must be shipped, handled, stored and administered. Each have their own specific challenges and parameters we are working with — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak
Since our last update we have continued with our planning and preparation for scenarios we may encounter during the vaccine rollout. From these exercises we have developed a more comprehensive process for distribution. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak
Staff for the Nevada State Immunization Program are prepared and will be on standby to accept initial shipments and for redistribution when a vaccine is received. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak
The FDA Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee is set to meet on December 10th and from that point we anticipate things will move quickly. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak
Even with promising efficacy percentages, a vaccine will not be released for use until it is deemed safe and effective. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak
Candice: So, a 95% efficacy indicates a 95% reduction in disease occurrence among the vaccinated group, or a 95% reduction in the number of cases you would expect if the group had not been vaccinated. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak
Today, I am joined again by two of our experts on the vaccine planning team: Candice McDaniel who serves as the Health Bureau Chief for the NV Division of Public and Behavioral Health & Shannon Bennett, Immunization Program Manager, Division of Public and Behavioral Health — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak
It is natural for the public to have questions about a new vaccine and I remain committed to transparency regarding vaccine planning and expectations — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak
The work group has been charged with staying abreast of vaccine candidate(s) trials, evidence of safety & efficacy, and other info to independently provide recommendations to state vaccine planning efforts as well as ensure public confidence in vaccine safety & efficacy — PolitiTweet.org
