CDPH Immunization Clinics

The Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) operates walk-in immunization clinics that provide free vaccinations for children from birth to 18 years old, targeting uninsured and underinsured individuals. These clinics also cater to those covered by Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). In addition, CDPH clinics offer flu and COVID-19 vaccines to all Chicago residents, emphasizing the importance of immunization in maintaining public health. This initiative ensures accessibility to critical health services for individuals regardless of their insurance status, reflecting a significant step towards community well-being. The urgency of this program is underscored by the ongoing public health challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and seasonal flu outbreaks.

Residents are encouraged to take advantage of these services to protect themselves and their families.
