Greater Elgin Family Care Center will begin vaccinating existing patients in the 1B category for COVID-19 at three of its locations beginning Monday.
The nonprofit community health center, which has nine locations in five counties, primarily serves people whose income is less than double the federal poverty level.
Our patients are often uninsured, often are persons of color, racial and ethnic minorities and women and children, said President/CEO Bob Tanner. It has about 90 practitioners who provide care to more than 62,000 people per year, he added.
Vaccination appointments will be accepted at Center for Family Health in Sycamore, Lake Health Center in Hanover Park and McHenry Community Health Center. Existing patients should call (847) 608-1344 or (815) 363-9900 to schedule their 30-minute appointment. The vaccine is available to insured and uninsured patients and is free.
