Starting Monday, Chicago will move into Phase 1B, during which many frontline workers as well as residents 65 and older will be able to get vaccinated.
COVID-19 vaccines are not currently authorized for younger children. The city said they will be added when a vaccine is approved for children.
"Most people, especially in the 65-plus, will be vaccinated in a clinical setting: through a hospital, through your own doctor's office, potentially through a pharmacy. And there will be more to come on that," Dr. Allison Arwady said.
Officials are asking providers to prioritize within each group. In the 65 and older category, Arwady said those 75 and older should be at the top of the list, followed by those 65 to 74 with underlying conditions, and then the rest of that of group.
