Wilcox to Begin Providing Vaccinations to Kūpuna ages 70 and Up

Beginning on Monday, March 8, Wilcox Medical Center will have appointments available for adults ages 70 and older to receive the COVID-19 vaccine in line with the Hawai‘i Department of Health’s latest guidelines.

“We know many of our kūpuna have been anxious to receive their COVID-19 vaccinations and we’re extremely happy that the Department of Health is expanding access for residents 70 and older,” said Jen H. Chahanovich, president and CEO of Wilcox Medical Center and CEO of Kaua‘i Medical Clinic.

Wilcox Medical Center will have 300 appointments daily from March 8-12 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Vaccinations are available by online appointment only by going to HawaiiPacificHealth.org/COVID19Vaccine. Walk-ins will not be accepted.

Vaccinations will only be provided to adults 70 years and older. People requiring assistance may bring one person 18 years or older as an escort to their vaccination appointment. Current guidance from the DOH does not allow escorts who are not aged 70 or older to receive the vaccine. No one under the age of 18 will be allowed in the vaccination clinic.
