You can now track flu vaccinations on a brand new data dashboard launched by the state of Nevada.
The dashboard gives weekly updates on influenza vaccination coverage rates by county, age, and gender across the state throughout the 2020-2021 influenza season and compares rates to the two previous flu seasons.
Health officials say increasing influenza vaccination coverage is a critical part of COVID-19 response work and will help decrease the burden of preventable influenza illnesses and hospitalizations on the health care system. With ongoing circulation of COVID-19 in Nevada, they say it is more important than ever for everyone 6 months of age and older to get vaccinated against the flu.
The Nevada Department of Health and Human Services urges all Nevadans to get a flu vaccine as soon as possible. To find locations, visit Immunize Nevada at ImmunizeNevada.org/find-vaccine-clinics
