COVID-19 vaccination clinic set for Saturday

The health department, Kanawha County Emergency Ambulance Authority and Charleston Area Medical Center will hold a COVID-19 vaccination clinic Saturday at the Charleston Coliseum and Convention Center.

Appointments are available for those age 70 and older. A call center will open at 1 p.m. Thursday to set appointments for Saturday.

Call volume for appointments is expected to be high. Those who want an appointment should not leave voice messages, as appointments may be filled by the time KCHD can answer them.

Free parking for Saturday’s vaccination clinic is available at the Coliseum parking garage. Those with critical mobility limitations or who are in quarantine or isolation due to COVID-19 should note that when making an appointment.
