CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) – The Nevada website the public uses to get information on coronavirus vaccines is packed with more ad trackers and third-party cookies than any state vaccination website in the country, allowing companies to track how visitors navigate the internet and collect data on them that can potentially be used or sold by third parties.
Since vaccines became available, health officials have directed people looking for vaccine information – where doses are available and how to schedule appointments, for example – to ImmunizeNevada.org or NVCOVIDFighter.org, which is an address that directs visitors to the same website.

LAS VEGAS (AP) Nevada stopped using Johnson & Johnson coronavirus vaccines on Tuesday while federal authorities investigate reports of some people in other states experiencing serious reactions, including blood clots.
However, state and local health officials said the “pause” should not affect ongoing vaccination efforts, because only about 4% of the nearly 1.55 million COVID-19 vaccinations administered in Nevada to date have been Johnson & Johnson. Most have been Moderna and Pfizer.
“Our message today is that our campaign is based on multiple vaccines,” said Dr. Fermin Leguen, chief medical officer at the Las Vegas-based Southern Nevada Health District. “Pfizer and Moderna, those vaccines have proved to be effective and also to be safe.”
