Churchill County’s Vaccine, Testing Schedule for February 2022

Vaccines available for anyone age 5 and older  
Churchill County’s Vaccine, Testing Schedule for February 2022

In the ongoing fight against COVID-19 Churchill County continues to offer COVID vaccine and testing opportunities in February 2022 to anyone aged five years and older. Vaccines are offered at both the Miner’s Road Public Health Site and the William N. Pennington Life Center; testing is only offered at Miner’s Road.

Vaccines and PCR testing offered Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays in February at the Miner’s Road site. Vaccines only offered at the Pennington Life Center on Mondays and Wednesdays. No services offered on Monday, February 21 due to the Presidents’ Day holiday.

All three vaccines (Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson) are available at all vaccine clinics.

Booster shots are available to anyone 16+ who is six months out from their second dose of Pfizer or Moderna or two months out from the one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

Be sure to bring your vaccination card with you if seeking a booster, second or third dose.

While county public health does not have rapid tests to offer, residents may buy their own and bring it to any testing clinic and county health staff will administer the test and certify the results. Those seeking a PCR COVID test and the quickest results back possible may pre-register for testing. PCR tests currently take about five days to get results back.

Churchill County offers monoclonal antibody treatment for eligible individuals. Please call the County Health Department at (775)423-6695, option 2, to discuss eligibility and treatment.

Routine blood pressure checks also offered at the Pennington Life Center on Mondays, Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Fridays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Seasonal flu shots offered to anyone six months and older (minors with parental consent) at all vaccine clinics in February.

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
