The City of Chicago moved to Phase 2 of COVID-19 vaccine eligibility this week, meaning all Chicagoans age 16 or older are eligible to get vaccinated against COVID-19. To date, more than 1 million Chicago residents have received at least one dose of vaccine—nearly half of the City’s adult population. Last week, the City received less than 70,000 first doses, enough to vaccinate fewer than 10,000 residents per day. The City has been using all the vaccine it receives quickly and efficiently. Anyone 16+ living in the City of Chicago can look for vaccine appointments at zocdoc.com/vaccine or use the City’s COVID-19 Vaccine Finder to identify additional vaccine providers. To book an appointment on Zocdoc, Chicagoans under 18 must have a parent or guardian book vaccine appointments on their behalf. New appointments will be added frequently, and people are encouraged to check back. Only individuals 18 and older will be able to get vaccinated at a City-run vaccination site. To learn more about Chicago’s COVID-19 vaccine rollout, visit www.chicago.gov/covidvax.
