Olympics-Bound Swimmer Among Nevadans To Get Vaccine on First Day of Open Eligibility

UNLV swimmer Vuk Celic was among those to get the first shot of the Moderna vaccine at the UNLV site on Monday.

“I want to protect the people around me, my teammates my collogues and my family,” the Serbian swimmer said.

The summer ahead will be packed with life changing experiences for Celic. He will compete in the European Swimming Championships and then he’ll head to Tokyo to represent his country in the Summer Olympics.

Celic qualified for the 2020 games, but his dreams were put on hold when coronavirus canceled the Olympics.
