CDPH Immunization Clinics

Chicago, ILLocal News

The Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) is actively providing walk-in immunization clinics that deliver crucial vaccinations to children aged 0 through 18 without any associated costs. These clinics are especially designed for uninsured and underinsured individuals, including those benefiting from Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). Furthermore, the CDPH clinics are accessible to all Chicago residents seeking flu and COVID-19 vaccines, thereby promoting health equity across the community. This initiative is critical in addressing public health concerns and enhancing community immunity, particularly during periods of increased illness. The CDPH’s commitment to making vaccinations available reflects an understanding of the importance of preventive healthcare.

Parents and guardians are encouraged to utilize these resources to protect their children as well as themselves against seasonal diseases.

This proactive approach by the CDPH plays a significant role in safeguarding public health in the Chicago area.
