The Kanawha-Charleston Health Department and the Kanawha County Emergency Ambulance Authority will hold a community COVID-19 vaccination clinic Saturday, May 15 at the Charleston Coliseum and Convention Center, 200 Civic Center Drive, Charleston.
The clinic will be from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. The clinic will be a partnership between KCHD, KCEAA, the city of Charleston, Kanawha County Commission, Charleston Area Medical Center, Thomas Health Systems, West Virginia Health Right, Family Care, the University of Charleston and the West Virginia National Guard.
Pending approval of the Pfizer vaccine for those age 12 and older from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the clinic will be open to those age 12 and older. Those under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. If the child is accompanied by an adult other than a parent or guardian, they must have a signed note from a parent or guardian stating they are allowed to receive the vaccine.
Appointments can be made by calling 304-348-8080. Walk-ins will also be accepted from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.
Anyone who got the first dose of the Moderna vaccine on or before April 17 or the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine on or before April 24 who has not gotten a second dose may come to the clinic for a second dose.
Drive-through vaccines are available on the Coliseum’s Lee Street parking lot (loading dock area). Please come through the mobile vaccine site only if you have an appointment for a mobile or drive-through vaccine.
Those who have appointments are guaranteed to get a vaccine. Please do not come more than 15 minutes early to your appointment. Doing so slows down the process for you and others.
Free parking for the clinic is available at the Coliseum’s Quarrier Street parking garage.
