Covid-19 Information & Vaccination in Chicagoland, Illinois, USA and Indonesia




















COVID-19 Vaccine Phases and Planning in Chicago

There will be a phased roll-out of the COVID-19 vaccine in Chicago with a very limited supply at the beginning, so certain groups will be prioritized. Everyone is encouraged to get vaccinated as soon as it’s their turn. Supplies will increase over time and all adults will be able to get vaccinated later in 2021. 

Once a vaccination phase begins, people in that phase are eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine indefinitely.  Tentative dates are dependent on vaccine supply.
