The Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) this week began offering COVID-19 vaccine booster doses to all eligible Chicagoans. Pfizer and J&J booster doses will be offered at all CDPH pop-up clinics and events, including joint flu-COVID vaccination clinics, and through Protect Chicago At Home, the City’s in-home vaccination program. In addition, hundreds of pharmacies and healthcare providers throughout the city are also offering vaccine booster doses. The following groups who received a Pfizer or Moderna vaccine series are eligible to receive a third “booster” dose of any vaccine at least six months after completing their initial vaccine series:  

• 65 years and older 

• Age 18+ who live in long-term care settings 

• Age 18+ who have underlying medical conditions 

• Age 18+ who work or live in high-risk settings 

People 18 and older who received a Johnson & Johnson vaccine are eligible to receive a “booster” dose of any vaccine at least two months after their initial vaccine. To make an appointment for in-home vaccination, call (312) 746-4835 or register at www.chicago.gov/athome.  For a list of mobile and pop-up vaccination events, check the online calendar at Chicago.gov/VaxCalendar. All COVID-19 vaccinations, including booster doses are free, no insurance or government ID required.
