Clark County may not reach vaccination goals for reopening
May 11, 2021 GMT
LAS VEGAS (AP) Clark County might not be vaccinating people fast enough to reach the state’s goal to remove capacity limits and social distancing requirements next month, health officials said.
Southern Nevada Health District Chief Health Officer Dr. Fermin Leguen said about 50% of eligible residents 16 and older, or about 919,000 people, had received at least one shot of COVID-19 vaccines as of Friday.
Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak set a state goal to reduce restrictions by June 1, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported. But Clark County, which includes Las Vegas, set a threshold to vaccinate 60% of its population, or more than a million people, before fully reopening.

Fewer Americans are reluctant to get a COVID-19 vaccine than just a few months ago, but questions about side effects and how the shots were tested still hold some back, according to a new poll that highlights the challenges at a pivotal moment in the U.S. vaccination campaign.Lynne Sladky/APShow MoreShow Less
