In order to ensure everyone who needs the vaccine has the opportunity to receive it, Carson City Health and Human Services’ Long Street Clinic is going to offer extended hours each Thursday in February.

“In order to look out for the well-being of our community, we are pleased to offer extended vaccination hours during the measles outbreak” said Nicki Aaker, director of Carson City Health and Human Services.

The clinic will remain open until 6 p.m. on Thursdays through Feb. 26 to accommodate those who cannot attend during normal business hours. No appointment is needed to get vaccinated, and most insurance is accepted in payment.
