Illinois Department of Aging COVID-19 vaccination toolkit

Older adults have been waiting anxiously for nearly a year to return to a sense of normalcy. Now that the vaccine is available to those over 65, people can soon be united with their loved ones.

There are a number of questions and myths surround the COVID-19 vaccine, however. The Illinois Department of Aging answers most of those questions on its website, found here.

Waukegan vaccine clinic

If you live within a 10-mile radius of the Oak Street Health Clinic and are 65+, good news: you can receive your dose of the COVID-19 vaccine at its Grand Avenue location.
