New Vaccination Site Opens On The Westside With Kaiser Permanente

CULVER CITY, CA — Kaiser Permanente West Los Angeles this week opened a COVID-19 vaccination site at the Courtyard by Marriott Los Angeles Westside.

It opened Wednesday and now offers vaccination appointments for eligible Kaiser Permanente members and nonmembers.

“We are thrilled to offer this much-needed service to our communities,” said Dr. Kirk Tamaddon, area medical director and chief of staff, Kaiser Permanente West Los Angeles. “We couldn’t be more excited to have the opportunity to expand vaccine operations in the West Los Angeles area.”

The COVID-19 vaccine is free and available to all who are eligible regardless of insurance. People interested in receiving their vaccine are required to make an appointment via kp.org/covidvaccine or by calling the Kaiser Permanente appointment call center at 1-833-574-2273.

Kaiser Permanente will expand vaccine eligibility based on vaccine availability and changing guidelines from the state, the company said.

During its first day of operation, Kaiser Permanente staff administered roughly 500 doses at the new vaccination site.

Capacity for appointments at the vaccination site and doses of vaccinations will vary depending on vaccine availability.

Health care workers are committed to improving the health of their members and the communities they serve, said Kaiser Permanente West Los Angeles Senior Vice President, Area Manager Lilit Zibari, RN, MSN.

“With the COVID-19 vaccine, our goal is to serve as many people as efficiently and as equitably as possible," Zibari said. "Adding a new vaccination site will allow us to do just that.”

“We are grateful to the Marriott for their partnership,” added Zibari. “Together, we will continue to move closer to beating this virus.”
