The Kanawha-Charleston Health Department and the Kanawha County Emergency Ambulance Authority will hold a community COVID-19 vaccination clinic Saturday, April 24 at the Charleston Coliseum and Convention Center, 200 Civic Center Drive, Charleston.
The clinic will be from 9 a.m. until 3:30 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 residents age 16 and older.
If KCHD administered the first dose of your Moderna vaccine March 22-27 or the first dose of your Pfizer vaccine March 29 through April 2, you should have gotten a call from us scheduling the second dose of your vaccine. If you got your first dose those dates and you have not yet gotten your second dose, please come to Saturday’s clinic at the same time as the appointment for your first dose.
Please note: Saturday will be KCHD and KCEAA’s last weekly large-scale vaccination clinic at the Coliseum for now. People who get the first dose of their vaccine at Saturday’s clinic should plan to make an appointment with the health department for their second doses. Second doses should be scheduled 28 days later for Moderna vaccines and 21 days later for Pfizer vaccines. Appointments can be made by calling 304-348-8080.
Drive-through vaccines are available on the Coliseum’s Lee Street parking lot (loading dock area). Please come through the mobile vaccine site only if you have an appointment for a mobile or drive-through vaccine.
Those who have appointments are guaranteed to get a vaccine. Please do not come more than 15 minutes early to your appointment. Doing so slows down the process for you and others.
Free parking for the clinic is available at the Coliseum’s Quarrier Street parking garage.
