Kaiser Permanente Hawaii officials say updated Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines will be available to members at most clinics statewide, starting Wednesday.
The vaccine is recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for all Americans ages 6 months and older to protect against potentially serious outcomes of COVID-19 illness this fall and winter.
Kaiser said Tuesday that no appointment is required at most locations, which are open 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday (closed from noon to 1 p.m.), unless otherwise noted.
The COVID-19 vaccine is also available at some Kaiser locations Saturday mornings, with no appointment necessary.
“Vaccine supply may be limited initially, but Kaiser Permanente expects to have consistent supply in the coming weeks,” Kaiser said in a news release. “With the federal health emergency ended and the federal government no longer funding COVID vaccines, Kaiser Permanente is no longer administering the COVID-19 vaccine to non-members.”
