COVID-19 Vaccine Information & Websites


Cook County is now in Phase 1B+ of the COVID-19 Vaccination Administration Plan, which includes individuals 16 years and older with Cancer, Chronic Kidney Disease, COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), Diabetes, Heart Conditions, Immunocompromised from organ transplant, Obesity, Pulmonary Disease and Sickle Cell Disease as well as individuals with disabilities, pregnant women and smokers.

Appointments for individuals in Phase 1A, 1B & 1B+ can be scheduled at vaccine.cookcountyil.gov. Individuals without internet access or who need assistance scheduling can call (833) 308-1988 (from 7a.m. to 7p.m., Monday - Friday). Cook County Health will only offer appointment slots based on the amount of vaccine on hand and will add appointments as new vaccine shipments arrive.


The State of Illinois also has a portal on coronavirus.illinois.gov to provide residents the ability to search for local COVID-19 vaccine locations, information on how to make
an appointment, updates on the State's plan and eligibility, and answers to frequently asked questions about the COVID-19 vaccine.  

*Governor Pritzker announced last week that all Illinois residents age 16+ will be eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine starting April 12. 

Please note that demand continues to far exceed vaccine supply. However, the Illinois Department of Public Health anticipates significant increases in weekly vaccine allocations in April.
