Hawaii Pacific Health’s new vaccination clinic at Kapiolani Medical Center for Women & Children opened Monday.

Hawaii Pacific Health provided COVID-19 vaccinations to 79 individuals on its first day of operation at its new vaccine clinic at Kapiolani Medical Center for Women & Children on Monday.

HPH closed its Pier 2 vaccination center at the end of July after administering more than 184,000 doses there, and moved to Kapiolani Medical Center in preparation for the anticipated availability of the COVID-19 vaccine for children under 12.

Scheduled appointments and walk-in vaccinations are available at the Kapiolani clinic from 8 a.m. to noon on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and noon to 4 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday.

In addition to the Kapiolani clinic, HPH also offers COVID-19 vaccinations at Straub Medical Center’s urgent care locations on Oahu, including Kahala, Kapolei, Ward Village and Waikiki, and through its Vax Squad mobile vaccine clinics, which will be visiting Pearl City and Waikele Shopping Centers, and Aloha Stadium Swap Meet this month.

First dose appointments for HPH’s mobile vaccine clinics can be scheduled online at HawaiiPacificHealth.org/COVIDVaxSquad.

On Kauai, Wilcox Medical Center continues to offer appointments and walk-in vaccinations on scheduled clinic days, which can be found online at WilcoxHealth.org/Vaccine.

At Kapiolani, parking is available in the garage for free with validation, while valet parking is available for a fee. Appointments can be scheduled online at HawaiiPacificHealth.org/COVIDVaccine.
