“While we’re excited to be taking these steps, I want to be sure we set clear expectations,” Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle said at a news conference Monday. The Cook County Department of Public Health began scheduling appointments Monday at and (833) 308-1988. Walmart is taking appointments for seniors and essential workers at six of its stores in Chicago at. Starting Tuesday, Jewel-Osco is allowing people to make appointments online at for shots at its stores, according to the governor’s office.

Walgreens is vaccinating seniors and essential workers at 92 sites across Illinois, according to Pritzker’s office, and appointments can be made at. About 3.2 million seniors and essential workers in Illinois are eligible for the vaccine as part of this phase. Pritzker said in a news conference Monday. Illinois is expecting about 120,000 first doses of vaccine this week, not including those going to Chicago, “because of federal supply limitations,” Gov. The online sign-ups, however, come amid extremely limited doses of the vaccines, meaning appointments can be tough to come by.

Many hospital systems have also started sending out electronic invitations to senior patients to make appointments for the shots. The retail pharmacies and county began scheduling appointments as the state moved into phase 1b of COVID-19 vaccinations Monday, which includes people ages 65 and older and front-line essential workers such as teachers and public transportation and grocery store employees. The state has also launched a website where people can find vaccination locations and use links to make appointments at. Walgreens, Jewel-Osco, Walmart and suburban Cook County are now scheduling COVID-19 vaccine appointments for eligible Chicago-area residents.
