The Southern Nevada Health District has launched a new Respiratory Disease Dashboard, a user-friendly online tool that brings together up-to-date data on flu, COVID-19 and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in Clark County.
The dashboard, available on the Health District’s website at www.
“Having one place where the community can see flu, COVID-19 and RSV side-by-side will help us all stay better prepared,” said Dr. Cassius Lockett, District Health Officer for the Health District. “We encourage everyone to visit the dashboard and partner with us in protecting our community’s health.”
This integrated dashboard supports timely monitoring so that providers, schools, workplaces and households can stay alert to rising trends, practice prevention and seek care when needed. Publicly available data also help the Health District and community partners coordinate preparedness efforts, inform vaccine and treatment campaigns, and respond proactively.
Prevention and Protection
- Stay up to date with recommended vaccines. Flu and COVID-19 vaccines are recommended for everyone 6 months and older; RSV vaccine is recommended for adults 75 and older, adults 60-74 at increased risk, and for pregnant women at 32-36 weeks gestation (September through January). RSV monoclonal antibodies are recommended for all infants under 8 months and for children 8-19 months at higher risk.
- Practice everyday prevention. Wash hands frequently, cover coughs and sneezes, and stay home when sick. People who are, or care for someone who is, immunocompromised, should consider extra precautions such as masking in crowded indoor spaces.
- Share reliable information. Visit and share the dashboard link with networks, organizations and community groups to help keep Southern Nevada informed.
In addition to the new Respiratory Disease Dashboard, the Health District shares a variety of data dashboards on www.HealthySouthernNevada.org, providing information on key community health indicators.
