In late summer 2021, as Delta variant cases rose, the county health department added COVID-19 testing and vaccine events outside its usual hours. Kanawha County was listed as high risk on the CDC’s COVID-19 map in August 2021.
- Saturdays, August 7, 14 and 21, 2021: walk-in testing and vaccine clinics at the health department, 108 Lee Street in Charleston, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., with no appointment needed.
- Sunday, September 19, 2021: a testing and vaccine event at the health department office from 1 to 5 p.m., with the Kanawha County Commission, the Kanawha County Emergency Ambulance Authority and the Charleston Fire Department.
On weekdays, the health department took walk-ins for vaccines and tests. See also the walk-up COVID vaccination and testing clinic.
This guidance is from August 2021. It is kept here as a record and is not current advice. Check current guidance from the CDC or your doctor.
