The health department and the Kanawha County Emergency Ambulance Authority want to assure the public that Saturday’s community COVID-19 vaccination clinic at the Coliseum and Convention Center will take place as planned.
“We continue to monitor the weather forecast for this weekend and we plan to be at the Coliseum Saturday to vaccinate as many people as we can,” said Dr. Sherri Young, health officer and executive director of the health department. “The City of Charleston Streets Department and the state Division of Highways are working to make sure roads are as safe as possible on Saturday. The Kanawha County Commission is prepared to help the city clear sidewalks around the Coliseum if needed. We are working on alternative plans for next week for people who cannot make it to their appointments Saturday due to weather conditions.”
The vaccine clinic will be from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. Vaccines are by appointment only.
