Efforts to vaccinate younger residents expand
With COVID-19 vaccinations on the Big Island open to everyone 16 and older, Hilo Medical Center is working with schools to increase awareness that some students are now eligible to be inoculated.
“Now that we’ve done a good job vaccinating kupuna, we are now transitioning clinics to younger individuals,” said Assistant Hospital Administrator Kris Wilson.
HMC has another mass-vaccination clinic scheduled for Saturday at the Edith Kanaka‘ole Multi-Purpose Stadium.
