Join us for Breakfast!

Good morning Nevada! Welcome to our Virtual Big Shots Breakfast. We are excited to celebrate with you online – from wherever you are! You might still be wearing your slippers or PJs, and that’s fabulous. Some of us are wearing Big Socks for Big Shots, so be on the lookout for these snazzy socks as we literally – stand for science.

 

Whether it’s work, home – or another state – you can tune in and follow along for the next hour on our social media accounts, or right here on this page. You can show your support by commenting in the box below!

The Big Shots Breakfast is an opportunity for us to recognize immunization and health champions across Nevada, share pro-science and pro-vaccine messages, and celebrate those whose generosity make our programs possible – our sponsors and donors - like you!

We have an outstanding group of individual and organization Big Shots nominees, and yesterday we shared tidbits about them on social media – but you can read about them on our blog too. If you know one or more of them, leave a positive reply to show your appreciation for the work they are doing.

Over the next hour, we’ll be announcing the winners for Outstanding Clinician, Community Partner, and Champion in both northern and southern Nevada.  You can follow along with all the Big Shots posts with the #ivax2protect  #injectcommonsense and #bigshots hashtags on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

 

WINNER! Therese Litterer, RN of the Nevada Division of Public and Behavioral Health is our #BigShots Outstanding Clinician for northern Nevada! Thank you for being an outstanding community health nurse in Nevada!

 

WINNER! We are proud to award Dr. Lillie Hidaji of Oasis Pediatrics our #BigShots Outstanding Clinician award for southern Nevada. Thank you for stepping up to immunize students this back to school!

 

WINNER! We are proud to recognize Nevada Health Link as our #BigShots Outstanding Community Partner in northern Nevada. Thank you for working to ensure all Nevadans have access to healthcare! (Remember, open enrollment ends December 15!)

 

WINNER! Our #BigShots Outstanding Community Partner for southern Nevada is Eduardo Menchaca and Liberty Dental Plan. Thanks to Eduardo and the team for always being engaged partners!

 

WINNER! Roni Galas, RN of Carson City Health and Human Services is our #BigShots Outstanding Champion for northern Nevada. During the Back to School season, she expanded services to families from all over northern Nevada, helping hundreds of students start school protected and on time!

 

WINNER! We are proud to award our #BigShots Outstanding Champion award to Chamberlain University College of Nursing Las Vegas. These outstanding students are on their way to becoming the next generation of vaccine advocates!

The Big Shots Breakfast raises awareness of Immunize Nevada's mission and provides funds for our programs to increase access to vaccines for all Nevadans. Vaccines are one of the top-ten public health achievements. Help us celebrate their success!

AND NOW, here are some photos of tiny, furry immunization advocates! #BigSocksforBigShots
