City officials announced today that appointments for COVID-19 vaccinations will now be available to essential business workers at the Leeward Community College clinic.

Among the essential business groups that are eligible for the vaccines at the clinic are: employees from hotels, restaurants, bars, critical infrastructure, harbor and transportation services, grocery stores, and other employment categories identified by the state Health Department.

The LCC vaccination clinic — conducted under a partnership between the City and County of Honolulu and the state Health Department — is currently open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday through Friday.

An online appointment must be made in advance, with slots becoming available as vaccinations are secured. Walk-ins are not allowed.

Currently, the LCC clinic will only administer the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine.

The Hawaii Department of Health, meanwhile, says more than 81,000 vaccine doses are coming to Hawaii this week – more than any previous week — and that it will expand eligibility criteria on Oahu, starting April 5 to include include essential workers in construction, banking and finance, communications, media, retail, information technology, clergy, and transportation and logistics.
