The timing for an approved vaccine is unknown but the process for approval maintains the high standard always used for vaccines. The vaccine goes through clinical trials, each including more individuals who are monitored for side effects & effectiveness. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

The NV Web IZ system has been in existence for years & is widely used by Nevada’s immunizing providers & NV state law requires all vaccines must be entered in the system. It will be used to manage and distribute COVID-19 vaccine in the same way. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

The plan is like the frame of a house – it sets the structure. Now, we will focus on furnishing it and attending to the details. Our goal is to be as prepared as possible when the vaccine becomes available in our state. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

While we cannot speak to decisions being made by federal agencies such as the FDA or CDC, we can ensure that we have a plan in place for Nevadans. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

We anticipate receiving a small # of doses to begin & we've developed priority populations based on level of exposure. Our prioritization focuses on our front-line medical professionals 1st, especially for those who are in close & sustained contact with individuals who have COVID — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

Vaccination planning is not new to the State of Nevada. We are fortunate to have an existing framework that is managed by a team of experts who work on these efforts on a daily basis, with other programs such as Vaccines for Children and the Flu Shot programs. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

It is natural to have questions about a new vaccine & we remain committed to transparency. That’s why I am joined by two experts on the vaccine planning team: Candice McDaniel, Health Bureau Chief and Shannon Bennett, Immunization Program Manager. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

I want to be very clear with Nevadans: there are still many steps in the process before a vaccine is finalized and ready for distribution. But I also want Nevadans to know: the State has been planning for months, and the State will be ready when the time comes. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

Earlier this month, @dhhsnevada submitted a draft of our state specific plan - or “playbook,” as we refer to it - for COVID-19 vaccine planning, to @CDCgov. While the plan is still in draft form, I am eager to share some details today. It will also be released this afternoon. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

Good afternoon & thanks for tuning into today's press conference about our plan to roll out a #COVID19 vaccine when an FDA-approved one becomes available. I am joined by members of the @DhhsNevada team today who have been working on this plan since the start of this pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

We allow gatherings of up to 250 people or 50% capacity, whichever is less, but only if all mitigation requirements are followed. We allow larger gatherings if standards are met & a safety plan is approved at the local & state level. That guidance is here: https://t.co/HTdh6Mil4d — PolitiTweet.org

No matter if you are going to a polling location or attending a campaign event supporting your preferred candidate, please, remember our #COVID19 protocols. Wear a face covering & maintain six feet of social distance to help prevent the spread of #COVID19 in our communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

The 2020 election is 8 days away. Polling locations across Nevada have taken great strides to follow #COVID19 protocols to make voting fair, safe & accessible. I am encouraging all Nevadans to vote - regardless of who they are voting for. More info is available from @NVElect — PolitiTweet.org

This morning, I saw a whole family of deer hanging out on the grounds of the Nevada State Capitol. The chilly temperatures didn’t seem to bother them! https://t.co/mBvJIqJ77q — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you to the Public Employees’ Benefits Program for hosting a walk-up flu clinic in Carson City today for State employees & families.

For the recent 7-day period, cases are growing at a rate of 737 new cases per day. But we have the power to change this trajectory through our actions. Wear your mask. Wash your hands. Practice social distancing. Together, we can do this. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

We reported a high number of tests yesterday - 16,553. That's good news. Testing helps us detect cases among asymptomatic patients, and I encourage all Nevadans to seek testing. @NVHealthRespon1 has a handy locator map online at https://t.co/eRf5Q5EJdO. — PolitiTweet.org

Nevada - It doesn't have to be this way. Now is the time to double down on our #COVID19 mitigation measures. Today, we reported 1,146 new cases & the 14-day positivity rate is at 9.8%. As I said this week, we can't get tired when the virus isn't tired. https://t.co/fsG7YTDqaY — PolitiTweet.org
