Nevada gaming regulators want to know how many of the state’s frontline casino industry employees want to receive a vaccination for COVID-19 and the Gaming Control Board is asking gaming operators to survey their workforce.
The agency issued a notice to nonrestricted gaming license holders last week to complete a Licensee Workforce Vaccination Survey. Casino operators are collecting both a company’s information on how many frontline workers deal directly with customers and their willingness to be inoculated.
Frontline casino employees are now included among essential workers in the state’s COVID-19 vaccination strategy. Gaming Control Board Chairman Brin Gibson said in an email the agency wants to provide state and county health officials with as much information as possible regarding potential vaccine distribution.
