[May 17, 2021]   Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital will host two COVID-19 vaccination clinics for individuals 12 and older.

Vaccination clinics will be held from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Thursday, May 20, and from 6 to 8 a.m. Friday, May 21.

Preregistration is required.

The clinics are open to anyone age 12 and older.

Both clinics will use the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. It’s a two-dose regimen, with the shots spaced about 21 days apart. Once people receive their second shot, they will be fully immunized about two weeks later.

Until the Food and Drug Administration’s Emergency Use Authorization on Monday followed by approval from an advisory committee to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention om Wednesday, the vaccine was available only to 16 years old and older.

An appointment is required to participate in the vaccination clinics. Registration opens at noon today (May 13). To make an appointment, visit ALMH.org, click on the COVID-19 Vaccination Clinic banner.

For those without internet access, call 217-605-6500. The call will go to voicemail and someone will call back when an appointment is available to schedule.

For children receiving the vaccine, a parent or guardian must be available in person to provide consent and must remain with the child until post-vaccination monitoring is complete.
