Cicero Health Department Offers Vaccinations for Children 12 and Above

Lawndale News Chicago's Bilingual Newspaper - Health

The Town of Cicero health clinic is now open for all services – please call to schedule dental, physicals and immunizations. Due to the covid-19 pandemic most children are behind on their physicals and required immunizations. These physicals and immunizations are mandatory prior to the upcoming school year. Now is the time to schedule these appointments. Pfizer covid-19 vaccine is now approved for 12+. The Town of Cicero currently has Pfizer vaccine for this age group on either an appointment or walk in basis. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) revised guidance on the co-administration of routine vaccines with covid-19 vaccine, removing the 14-day minimum interval for administration of any other vaccine before or after a covid-19 vaccine. This means that all teens can receive their routine/catch-up shots at the same time they receive a covid-19. Don’t let transportation be a barrier. Free Uber and Lyft rides to vax clinics available through July 4th. Please call the Cicero health clinic at 708-656-3600, extension 147, 148, 149, to schedule all clinic services. All immunizations including covid-19 are walk ins. Clinic hours are Monday through Thursday 8:30am to 6pm. Please bring your immunization record and insurance if applicable. No person will be refused immunizations due to insurance status or inability to pay regardless of citizenship status. The town of Cicero immunization clinic is located at 2250 south 49th avenue, Cicero, IL 60804
