After the successful run of Mesquite’s Operation Vaccination task force at the Rising Star Fieldhouse that provided more than 7,000 first doses of the Moderna vaccine to local residents, vaccine operations have moved to several other venues.
Beginning Wednesday, Apr. 21, second dose appointments for those who received their first dose at the Rising Star will be fulfilled at the Southern Nevada Health District located at 830 W. Hafen Lane, adjacent to the Mesquite Veterans Center.
For those wanting the first dose of the Moderna COVID-19 virus vaccine, appointments may be scheduled through local pharmacies in Mesquite. Appointments must be made online only at the following websites:

For Walmart/Sam’s Club, please visit https://www.walmart.com/cp/1228302
For those who do not have computer access or just need help, call the Mesquite COVID-19 vaccination helpline at 702-346-8446 Monday through Thursday from 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. or Friday, from 7:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
Over 80 percent of Mesquite’s population age 65 and over have been vaccinated by Mesquite’s task force since it began operations the first of February. That doesn’t include people who have received their vaccination shots at other places.
