Not too late for a flu, COVID vaccine

Getting vaccinated against the flu and COVID-19 in November or even December is not too late. Public health officials recommend that everyone older than six months get a flu vaccine and COVID-19 vaccine every year. In addition to your healthcare provider, the flu vaccine is offered at numerous commercial pharmacies, grocery stores and other retail sites in the Oak Park area. Most of these sites accept private insurances and Medicare Part B to help cover the cost of the flu shot. Many sites will vaccinate children 3 years and older. For younger children, it’s best to make an appointment with a health care provider. The COVID-19 vaccine is offered at most of the same locations as the flu shot, along with your local health care provider. For questions and information about accessing a flu or COVID-19 vaccine, contact health@oak-park.us or 708.538.5480. 

Assistance for homebound residents...While the Oak Park Public Health Department does not provide vaccines for homebound individuals, public health officials urge residents to contact Age Options at 708.383.0258 for assistance. This organization will help set up an appointment for a medical professional to administer vaccines to residents who are homebound.
