The health department and the Kanawha County Emergency Ambulance Authority will hold a COVID-19 vaccination clinic Saturday, Feb. 13 at the Charleston Coliseum and Convention Center, 200 Civic Center Drive, Charleston. The clinic will be from 7 a.m. until 7 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.
A limited number of appointments for new doses have been given to those age 65 or older who are signed up through the state of West Virginia’s vaccine registration system (Everbridge).
To pre-register for a future vaccine event, visit vaccinate.wv.gov or call 1-833-734-0965 for assistance signing up. Please do not come to the clinic for a first dose without an appointment.
If KCHD administered the first dose of your Pfizer vaccine Jan. 18 through 23 or the Moderna vaccine the week of Jan. 11 through 16, you should come to Saturday’s clinic for your second dose. Those over age 65 should have received a call with an appointment time to come to Saturday’s clinic for your second dose.
Health care workers who were given a Pfizer vaccine Jan. 22 at the Coliseum should schedule their appointments through the CDC’s Vaccine Administration Management System.
Those who have appointments are guaranteed to get a vaccine. There is no need to come early to your appointment. Doing so slows down the process for you and others.
Those over 65 who did not receive a call and are due for the second dose should come to Saturday’s clinic at the same time as the appointment for your first dose.
Please come to Saturday’s clinic for a second dose ONLY if KCHD administered your first dose.
Free parking is available at the Coliseum’s Quarrier Street parking garage.
