Building on the state’s progress as it moves
into the early stages of Phase 1B of the COVID-19 Vaccination
Administration Plan, Governor JB Pritzker announced a new portal on
coronavirus.illinois.gov to provide residents with easily
accessible information about the COVID-19 vaccine.
|
Coronavirus.illinois.gov will provide eligible
residents with nearby vaccination sites, information on how to make
an appointment to receive the vaccine, updates on the state’s plan
and eligibility, and answers to frequently asked questions about the
COVID-19 vaccine.
“Today, as we launch the newest phase of our Vaccine Administration
Plan for frontline essential workers and those 65 and over, I’m
proud to announce our statewide vaccination site locator, searchable
by zip code and city, at coronavirus.illinois.gov,” said Governor JB
Pritzker. “This site will serve as a hub of all vaccine-related
information, directing residents to the appointment booking
homepages of our 97 local health departments and our pharmacy
partners, which will total hundreds of locations statewide. That
also includes information on our first Illinois National Guard mass
vaccination site, opening tomorrow at Tinley Park Convention Center,
and will be updated as more state-run sites and hundreds of
additional local options come online. As federal supply is currently
limited and every state in the nation is facing a shortage, I urge
all eligible Illinoisans to check back regularly for available
appointments – and in the meantime, mask up, keep our distance, wash
our hands, and remember we’ll stay healthy and safe if we look out
for each other.”

Beginning today, Walgreens is providing vaccines at
92 sites across the state, eligible residents can schedule an
appointment
here. Jewel-Osco will begin vaccinating eligible residents
tomorrow and the link to schedule an appointment is now live and can
be found
here.
Over the next few days, additional pharmacy partners will be coming
online and opening registration for appointments. Taken together,
these pharmacy partners will provide hundreds of sites in every
region of the state.
Over 3.2 million Illinoisans are eligible for Phase 1B. Eligible
residents will be able to receive a vaccine at one of the Illinois
National Guard (ILNG) assisted sites, at a site operated by a local
health department, or at a partner pharmacy.
At this time, these sites will be available by appointment only. As
the federal supply of vaccines increases and Illinois receives more
vaccine, the state will launch walk-in locations and expand sites to
additional providers like doctor’s offices and urgent care clinics.
More information about those locations will be released in the
coming weeks.
