Older adults are able to get vaccinated at Walgreens Author: Alex Fees (KSDK) Updated: 2:22 PM CST January 21, 2021
ST. CLAIR COUNTY, Ill. COVID-19 vaccinations for group 1B, adults age 65 and older, don t open in Illinois until Monday. But many older St. Clair County residents are already getting vaccinated at drugstores like Walgreens.
While many older adults are happy about the opportunity to get a vaccine shot, they also say it helps if you have a tech-savvy loved one who can help you with the online registration.
“So, it s really a relief,” said Barbara Friederich, when she and her husband, Larry, walked out of Walgreens in Fairview Heights. They received the COVID-19 vaccine inside after their daughter helped them with the online registration.
