All Remaining COVID Events at Fairgrounds Canceled For This Week

Cancelations due to expected extreme weather
All Remaining COVID Events at Fairgrounds Canceled For This Week

COVID testing dates and the vaccination clinic scheduled for the Churchill County Fairgrounds this week have been canceled based on the incoming storm. This includes the testing events scheduled for Jan. 27, 28, and 29 and the vaccination event on Jan. 28, all at the fairgrounds.

The booster clinic will take place as planned on Jan. 27th and is not canceled.

“We are canceling these events in the interest of safety and comfort for all those involved,” said County Manager Jim Barbee. “With testing and the vaccines being given outdoors at the fairgrounds, we didn’t want to subject our residents and staff to the expected wind, cold, and snow or have them out on the roads trying to get to the fairgrounds.”

Testing and the vaccinations are expected to resume next week after this storm passes.

Please check the county website (www.churchillcountynv.gov) and its’ social media platforms (Facebook and Twitter) for the most current information and announcements on future vaccination dates.

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
