Vaccination Rollout – Time for a bold new strategy

As could not be otherwise, Nevada will “raffle” 5 million dollars among those who get fully vaccinated. To date, 48.65% of the population has received two courses of a COVID-19 vaccine.

Nevada’s unemployment rate (7.8%) is significantly higher than the national one of 5.8 percent. Thus, in order to protect his citizens and boost the economy, the state Governor launched this bold strategy to bribe citizens into getting vaccinated against COVID-19.

“While we’re making progress with more than 50% of our eligible residents at least partially vaccinated, we must do more to protect our state. This vaccine incentive promotion is our way to give vaccination efforts an extra boost and encourage all Nevadans to get their shot so our state can recover and build back stronger,” said Sisolak at a press conference.

Are there any COVID-19 restrictions in Las Vegas?

Back on May 1, Governor Steve Sisolak lifted the statewide social distancing requirements against the advice of health authorities.

Las Vegas was “100 percent reopened”. Wearing a face mask indoors is still mandatory though it has been relaxed following updated C.D.C. guidance.

Fully vaccinated travelers can now visit Las Vegas Strip and the surrounding areas without restrictions. Restaurants and nightclubs will be open for them and capacity limits will not apply.

Also, casinos have already opened at 100% capacity.
