Following the Fermi-LAT detection of a new gamma-ray source positionally consistent with the possible high-z (z=2.47, Jackson et al. 2002, A&A, 386, 97) quasar PKS 1915-458 (ATel #2666), Swift Target of Opportunity observations were performed on June 13 and 14, 2010, with a total exposure time of 8.3 ksec. A single X-ray source was detected within the Swift/XRT field of view (covering ~50% of the LAT error circle).
