Renown Health has been working with the Washoe County Health District, the state, and the CDC to distribute the limited supplies of COVID-19 vaccines. Renown has completed more than 64,000 dose 1 and dose 2 vaccinations to date, which includes all of Tier 1A (Medical Staff members, Renown employees, students and volunteers) and eligible community members – which now includes everyone 16+. 

“Renown is excited to continue along our goal of providing the opportunity for everyone who is interested in receiving the vaccine to be vaccinated at no charge,” said Tony Slonim, MD, DrPH, President and CEO of Renown Health. “We would like local businesses to know we have thousands of open appointments in early May and we encourage our business colleagues to share this information with employees so they may easily schedule an appointment through MyChart and continue on the path to a healthier and safer northern Nevada.”

Vaccine appointments for 18+

Anyone ages 18 and older may register for a free Renown Epic MyChart account. They do not need to have a Renown provider to enroll. With a MyChart account, they will be able to login and schedule their first vaccine appointment. These vaccines require two doses. After the first dose of the vaccine is documented in your MyChart account, you will get a notice to schedule your second dose.

There are two easy ways to sign up for MyChart. Please see instructions in both English and Spanish.

Para programar una cita para una persona de 16 o 17 años:

  1. Hemos hecho arreglos especiales para menores de 16 y 17 años. Please fill out this form, also found on https://covid.renown.org/vaccine/.
  2. Renown's Customer Engagement team will call the listed phone number within 14 business days to schedule the appointment. We appreciate your patience during this time as demand is high.
  3. Please note that a parent or guardian must accompany the teen when getting their vaccination.

You are advised NOT to receive the vaccine if you:

  • Are ill at the time of vaccination (fever, shortness of breath, vomiting, diarrhea or acute illness).
  • Se le ha diagnosticado COVID-19 en los últimos 14 días.
  • Recibió alguna otra vacuna en los últimos 14 días.
  • Have a history of significant allergic reaction to this vaccine or any of its ingredients.

“Hometown Health is proud to be part of an organization offering COVID-19 vaccines to our community at no cost,” said David Hansen, CEO, Hometown Health. “The business community in northern Nevada is an important piece of the vaccination puzzle, and as a community-focused organization, we are pleased that Renown can safely offer vaccinations to local businesses and contribute to an increased hope for the future.”
