One day after Gov. Steve Sisolak set a November 1 deadline for state workers to get vaccinated, staff from the Department of Corrections are threatening to quit.
They want a choice between getting vaccinated or getting tested.
The choice they face is getting vaccinated or losing their jobs.
For corrections officers, there's not an easy answer.
There are 4,000 inmates and 1,000 guards. Dozens are dead.
Those are the scary statistics.
It's the reason the state has mandated all corrections staff get vaccinated.
But at least one employee doesn't want to and is ready to walk away.
"If it's between that vaccine and the job you love, what is that choice? That as of right now my choice is I'm refusing the vaccine," said a corrections officer who wished to remain anonymous.
He has more than a decade with the state.
He said some 200 officers are ready to quit.
"We're told on November 1st we'll get a letter of reprimand and then the next week we'll be terminated," he said.
He claims 15 officers in northern Nevada are burning sick days, prepared to never come back.
This officer says he doesn't feel he needs the vaccine. He is young and healthy.
And as a born-again Christian, believes in the power of prayer.
"I'm a believer in -- this is going to sound odd -- that through prayer, if its time for me to go home, it's time for me to go home, but I don't want to go home."
That one officer does not speak for all officers, but he says he isn't the only one publically prepared to walk away from work.
So if November 1st is the deadline to get the shot, what does November 2 look like?
His response was one word: Quiet.
