The health department and the Kanawha County Emergency Ambulance Authority will hold a combination drive-up COVID-19 testing and vaccination clinic Friday, April 2 at Shawnee Sports Complex, One Salango Way in Dunbar. The clinic will be from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
“Along with wearing masks and social distancing, testing and vaccinations are two very important tools for stopping the spread COVID-19,” said Dr. Sherri Young, health officer and executive director of the health department. “Our fall flu vaccination clinics helped us perfect the process of doing vaccinations and immunizations together at one drive-up clinic. We’re happy to be able to offer our community both services.”
COVID-19 vaccines at Friday’s clinic will be by-appointment only. No appointments are necessary for COVID-19 testing.
A call center will open from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. Wednesday to schedule 750 appointments for COVID-19 vaccines.
