LAS VEGAS – The Southern Nevada Health District is hosting a free Adult Immunization Outreach Event on Thursday, May 29, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Fremont Public Health Center, 2830 E. Fremont St., Las Vegas, NV 89104.
Open to the public, this event offers adults a chance to get vaccinations, blood pressure checks, STD screenings, harm reduction resources and other essential health services—all in one convenient location.
Every year, around 50,000 adults in the U.S. die from diseases that vaccines can prevent. Many adults aren’t aware that they may still be at risk, or that immunity from earlier vaccinations can wear off over time. Staying up to date on recommended vaccines is not only safe but often required for travel, work, school and more.
Recommended adult vaccines include chickenpox (varicella), hepatitis A, hepatitis B, human papillomavirus (HPV), influenza (Flu), measles-mumps-rubella (MMR), meningococcal, pneumonia, shingles, and tetanus-diphtheria-pertussis (Tdap). Some vaccines may need boosters or have different recommended vaccination schedules. For additional information on adult vaccines, visit https://www.southernnevadahealthdistrict.org/community-health-center/adult-vaccines/.
Most insurance plans cover the costs, and vaccines for adults may be reduced or free of cost depending on availability.

Clients are encouraged to bring their immunization records if available. Records are helpful but not required.
** Media Availability: Medical professionals from the Health District will be available for interviews the week of the event (Tuesday and Wednesday) to discuss the importance of adult vaccinations and vaccination schedules.
