Nevada’s COVID-19 Task Force said hospitality workers in Southern Nevada could be up for vaccination in the next two weeks. Other hospitality workers in some counties could get it sooner.

The Culinary Union said it will advise workers how to proceed when the time for vaccination comes. From hospitality workers to tourists getting the vaccine, it’s all considered critical to Las Vegas’ economy.
