The COVID Vaccine
Both Moderna and Pfizer COVID vaccines are in stock at the Kanawha-Charleston Health Department.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the updated COVID vaccine for all people aged 65 and older, but narrowed its use for younger adults and children to those with at least one high-risk health condition such as asthma or obesity.
KCHD has a physician on staff that has issued a standing order for COVID vaccines for those patients who meet the recommendation for vaccination, so no additional doctor's order will be required. Patients under 65 must be able to attest to having at least one risk factor outlined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC’s list is not exhaustive and may be found at cdc.gov or in the lobby at KCHD. If you can attest to meeting at least one of the risk factors on the CDC’s list, you can get the vaccine.
Walk-ins are welcome for the COVID vaccine. No appointment is required.
The Flu Shot
This season's flu shots are available at KCHD. Walk-ins are welcome. No appointment is required.
RSV Vaccines
We have RSV vaccinations available for patients 50 and older or those younger people with significant health risks. We ask that you make an appointment to get an RSV vaccine. Call ahead at 304-348-8080.
Pnemonia and Shingles
We always see a bump in communicable illnesses as the weather turns colder, kids return to school, and people gather for holidays. If you are 50 or older, please make sure you have the pnemonia and shingles vaccines. If you haven't had them, we can remedy that! We ask that you make an appointment for pnemonia and shingles. Call ahead at 304-348-8080.
Our clinic is open Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
