Mass vaccination centers grounded in community partnerships help make health care “much more equitable,” said Dr. David Trotter, chair of emergency medicine at Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center.
As of Sunday evening, no appointments were available at the Gallagher Way site, as shown on the ZocDoc scheduling platform. The Wrigley Field-area site will be open to all Chicagoans eligible in Phases 1A, 1B or 1C.
Those who schedule appointments will need to bring proof of residency, such as a driver’s license, Illinois ID card, REAL ID, City Key Card, library card, postmarked letter, utility bill, voter registration confirmation, Consular ID (Matricula Consular), or another form of identification. A complete list of eligible documents is available at Chicago.gov/COVIDVax.
The Chicago State University location will be overseen by the Chicago Department of Public Health, with CORE (Community Organized Relief Effort) operating the site and vaccine administered by Howard Brown Health, the city said.
