The Iroquois County Public Health Department (ICPHD), in partnership with Iroquois Memorial Hospital (IMH), will be hosting a one-time 2nd dose Pfizer vaccine clinic on Monday, March 22, 2021. This clinic is a one-time opportunity for Iroquois County Residents who have already received a first dose of the Pfizer vaccine on or prior to March 5, 2021 and are still needing their 2nd dose. There are a limited number of doses available for this clinic. Those wanting to schedule an appointment will need to provide proof of receiving a 1st dose of Pfizer, such as a vaccine card.
To register and schedule your appointment, please call ICPHD at (815) 432-2483. Please note that this vaccine is available by appointment only to practice safe social distancing. Individuals who arrive without a previously scheduled appointment will not be eligible to receive the vaccine at that time. Appointments are reserved for qualifying individuals who reside within Iroquois County.
At this time, there is no cost for the COVID-19 vaccine. Written documentation from the individual’s primary care physician will not be required. Please reference the chart at the bottom of the linked webpage for eligible populations in each phase of the Illinois Mass Vaccination Plan: https://www.dph.illinois.gov/covid19/vaccination-plan.
The vaccination clinic will be held at Iroquois Memorial Hospital. Clients will be asked to enter through the main entrance located on the north side of the building and are required to bring a valid form of photo ID. Individuals who are wheelchair bound or in need of additional assistance may enter through the Emergency Room entrance on the south side of the building. If you do not feel well the day of your appointment or are in isolation or quarantine, please call ICPHD to reschedule. Patients will need to wear a face covering, practice social distancing, and plan to allow at least 15 minutes for observation after the vaccination. Please wear clothing to allow easy access to the upper portion of the arm for the injection.
As more vaccine is allocated ICPHD will communicate availability, along with when, where, and how to receive the vaccine, via traditional and social media outlets as well as on the ICPHD website: http://www.co.iroquois.il.us/health-department/covid-19-corona-virus/.
