Cook County Health is now offering the 2024-2025 COVID-19 vaccines. Patients who have an established primary care physician or are currently receiving care through a Cook County Health specialty clinic can speak with their doctor about receiving a vaccine at their appointment or by calling to make an appointment.
Vaccines for the Community
Community members who are not established Cook County Health patients should call 312-864-0200 to establish care with a Cook County Health primary care physician in order to receive a COVID-19 vaccination.
Medicare, Medicaid, and nearly all commercial health insurance plans cover the full cost of COVID-19 vaccines. Cook County Health is offering COVID-19 vaccines to patients without insurance free of charge.
Individuals may also visit vaccine.gov to find another vaccine provider close to home.
