NORTH LAS VEGAS, NEV. — Today, Congressman Steven Horsford announced that his office will be leading a local "Get Out the Vaccine" (GOTV) Week of Action from May 1 - May 8 focused on increasing COVID-19 vaccination rates in Black communities and emphasizing the importance of vaccination for all Nevadans.
During the Week of Action, Congressman Horsford will visit vaccine sites throughout Nevada's Fourth District to spread awareness and educate Nevadans about the safe, effective, and no-cost COVID-19 vaccine. The initiative is part of a nationwide campaign through the Congressional Black Caucus, which Congressman Horsford leads as vice chair.
"The COVID-19 vaccine is our most critical tool to crush this virus and get Nevada's economy back on track. As vice chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, I'm proud to lead the CBC's efforts to Get Out The Vaccine in Nevada's Fourth District," said Congressman Steven Horsford. "In this week leading up to Mother's Day, getting the COVID-19 vaccine is the most important thing Nevadans can do to protect themselves, their loved ones, and their communities. I'm excited to visit vaccine sites across Nevada's Fourth District and encourage Nevadans to get their vaccine."
The Get Out the Vaccine Week of Action will be held in conjunction with community partners including Victory Missionary Baptist Church, FirstMed Health and Wellness Centers, and the "Back to Life" campaign, a joint project of Clark County and the Southern Nevada Health District.
