Individuals being vaccinated should bring a picture I.D. and an insurance card, if they have one.
Insurance is NOT required: the vaccines are free, and no bill will be sent. Minors ages 12-17 must be
accompanied by a parent or guardian who will need to sign a consent form for the minor being
vaccinated. The mobile vaccination van will return to these same locations three weeks later to
administer second doses for those who get the Pfizer vaccine. For telephone assistance, call the Kaua‘i
District Health Office at (808) 241-3495. The effort is a partnership between the County of Kaua‘i, the
Kaua‘i District Health Office, Wilcox Health, and Hawaii Health Systems Corporation’s Kaua‘i Region.
If you need an auxiliary aid/service or other accommodation due to a disability, call (808) 938-
0938 or email blanca.baron@doh.hawaii.gov. Requests made as early as possible will allow adequate
time to fulfill your request. Upon request, this notice is available in alternate formats such as large print,
