OFFICE OF THE MAYOR
SARAH K. BLANE, CHIEF OF STAFF

Most Kaua‘i residents now eligible for vaccine, additional Johnson & Johnson clinic
announced; Clinics opening at Safeway locations
The County of Kaua‘i announced that most residents age 16 and over are now eligible for
vaccine, and appointments are available this week at locations around the island.
If you are not sure if you are eligible, please fill out the Kaua‘i District Health Office survey at
www.kauai.gov/vaccine. If you don't meet the current criteria, you will be added to the filler list for
extra doses.
The Department of Health added an additional clinic date for the one-dose Johnson & Johnson
vaccine on April 5 at the War Memorial Convention Hall from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. If additional J&J vaccine
is received, the clinic hours will be extended to 1 p.m.
The two-dose Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are widely available.
Safeway locations in Līhuʻe and Kapa‘a are opening vaccine clinics and accepting appointments
now. This is in addition to existing clinics at Longs in ‘Ele‘ele, Kōloa, and Kapa‘a, hospital clinics at Wilcox
Medical Center, Kaua‘i Veterans Memorial Hospital (KVMH), and Samuel Mahelona Memorial Hospital,
and the Department of Health clinic at the War Memorial Convention Hall.
For links to make an appointment at any of these locations, please visit: kauai.gov/vaccine.
Patients will select two appointments if they are receiving either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine,
or a single appointment if they are receiving the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. If you are receiving a two-
dose vaccine, please make both appointments at the same location to ensure you receive the same
vaccine and that your two doses are registered in the same system for a complete vaccination record.
Health officials encouraged all Kaua‘i residents who have contact with travelers to schedule an
appointment before Kaua‘i rejoins the Safe Travels program for Trans-Pacific travel on April 5.
Visitors to Kaua‘i are NOT eligible to receive COVID-19 vaccine. Supply is for residents only.
The County of Kaua‘i continues to offer free same-day COVID-19 testing weekdays from 8 a.m.
to 3:30 p.m. at the War Memorial Convention Hall. Free testing is available to everyone on Kaua‘i,
residents and visitors. No appointment is needed. For more information, visit kauai.gov/COVIDtest. This
test cannot be used for Safe Travels pre-travel test requirements.
