Like Hilo Medical Center, Kona Community Hospital is accepting pre-registration for the COVID-19 vaccine for children ages 12 to 15.
The Pfizer vaccine will be allowed for inoculating younger age groups, pending US Federal Drug Administration’s approval, which is expected early next week.
KCH is ceasing vaccine operations at the Kona Aquatic Center Gym as of Friday, May 20. Initially, Premier Medical Group was going to take over the operations but no longer. KCH has released a revised timeline for future vaccine operation logistics:

June 17 (Thursday): On KCH campus – second doses only at this clinic.
