In addition to the call center, people can email covidvaccine-appointments@snhd.org for assistance canceling appointments.
The city of North Las Vegas also says those who are included in the additional employment classifications can schedule their appointments for the city's vaccination POD at Canyon Springs High School.
The SNHD says second dose appointments are available to people who were vaccinated at a Health District or partner clinic and received the Pfizer vaccine at least 21 days prior or the Moderna vaccine at least 28 days prior.
The first dose of the vaccine starts building protection from the virus that causes COVID-19. The second dose is needed to get the most protection the vaccine has to offer.
