Anyone 12 or over can get vaccinated June 19 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Michele Clark High School, 5101 W. Harrison St. The Pfizer (ages 12+) and Johnson & Johnson (ages 18+) vaccines will be available. For 12- to 17-year-olds, a parent or legal guardian must be one site to sign the consent form.
The one dose Johnson & Johnson and the two-dose Pfizer will be administered from 2 to 4 p.m. May 22 at #2 New Mt. Sinai MB Church, 310 N. Laramie.
Both the two-dose Pfizer and one-dose Johnson & Johnson shots will be offered inside the 40-foot CTA bus from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. May 8 at 5070 W. Adams. Anyone who wants to get vaccinated can walk up that day, and the vaccines are available to all, not just Austin residents. You must be 16 or older, and minors must have a guardian with them to be vaccinated.
At this month’s meeting of the 29th Ward residents aired concerns about vaccine appointments and the alderman shared how the Chicago Police Department is preparing for summer violence. Residents also heard an update about a new grocery store that will be opening in the now-closed Salvation Army building in the 5300 block of West Chicago Avenue.
Starting Friday, Austin residents 18 can sign up to receive the COVID-19 vaccine at either of two new vaccination centers in Austin.
