The city said it expects the shots to be available at clinics and pharmacies within five to 12 days. Anyone who hasn't had a COVID vaccine in two months or more is encouraged to get the booster right away.
While the vaccine will still be available at no cost, where you can get your vaccine may be a little different now that the official federal public health emergency has ended.
Pharmacies like CVS and Walgreens get their own supply of the vaccine, and appointments can be booked through their websites. For uninsured or underinsured Chicagoans, there are doses allocated to federally qualified health centers and city-run family vaccination clinics.
If you are uninsured or underinsured, you can get your COVID vaccine booster at one of the following city locations:
Greater Lawn Clinic, 4150 W. 55th St., 312.745.1477
Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. - 3 p.m.
