CHICAGO (WLS) -- A COVID vaccination site in the Pullman neighborhood is administering 1,000 vaccines to residents over the age of 40 on Tuesday.
Residents in the 9th Ward got a robocall from their alderman alerting them about this site and they were able to sign up on a link over the web. All of the appointments filled up fast.
The Far South Side has been hit hard by COVID-19. Until now Arnita Rainey couldn't find anywhere to go.
"Well before this came available, I wasn't able to even get an appointment," Rainey said. "I tried at like Advocate and they wouldn't give me an appointment because they say you have to be over 65."
