CHICAGO (WLS) -- The Chicago Department of Public Health is revising the schedule of its in-home vaccination program, but Chicagoans can still get up-to-date on their COVID-19 and flu vaccinations without having to leave the comfort of their home, Mayor Lori Lightfoot's Office said Thursday night.
Protect Chicago At Home offers the updated COVID-19 vaccine and primary doses for anyone ages 6 months and up, and flu vaccines for individuals who schedule COVID-19 vaccines.

Starting Feb. 28, the CDPH Protect Chicago At Home program will operate on a three-day schedule, Saturday through Monday, 8 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., the office said.

CDPH urges everyone to get an updated COVID-19 booster. This new vaccine generates a stronger immune response against variants currently circulating, and offers the potential for broader protection against future variants, Chicago officials said.
COVID-19 and flu vaccines are all offered at no cost, and they can be administered at the same visit, as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
