Routine vaccinations will be available in addition to COVID-19 vaccine The Nevada State Immunization Program (NSIP) is expanding its COVID-19 Pharmacy Partnership Program (LTC 2.0) to now provide residents and staff at Long-Term Care Facilities access to not only COVID-19 vaccines, but routine vaccines as well. With the new Long-Term Care All Vaccine Access Program (LTC 3.0), care facilities will be able to partner with a pharmacy to request routine vaccines, such as those protecting against Hepatitis A and B, Influenza, Pneumococcal, Shingles, and Tdap. In addition, you will be able to request Evusheld, a pre-exposure prophylactic medicine administered intramuscularly by your pharmacy partner that prevents COVID-19 infection for immunocompromised persons and those with a prior adverse reaction to COVID-19 vaccine.
See the links below for the recommended vaccine schedules for adults and children and for more information on Evusheld.

If you have any questions or comments about the new LTC 3.0 program, please email us at [email protected] Through the new LTC 3.0 program, NSIP and our partners are working to ensure all Nevadans have equal access to recommended vaccines.
