The health department and the Kanawha County Emergency Ambulance Authority, with the help of several community organizations, administered 3,475 doses of COVID-19 vaccine Saturday during a clinic at the Charleston Coliseum and Convention Center.
“With every person we vaccinate, we move a little closer to the end of this pandemic,” said Dr. Sherri Young, health officer and executive director of the health department. “We’re thankful for the help of all the community partners and volunteers that made today’s clinic possible.”
The clinic was a joint effort between KCHD, KCEAA, the City of Charleston, Kanawha County Commission, West Virginia Health Right, Charleston Area Medical Center, Thomas Health Systems, FamilyCare, the University of Charleston and the West Virginia National Guard.
