Walgreens, Jewel-Osco, Walmart, and suburban Cook County are scheduling COVID-19 vaccine appointments for eligible Chicago-area residents.

The state has also launched a website, https://coronavirus.illinois.gov/s/vaccination-location , where people can find vaccination locations and links to schedule appointments.

The online sign-ups, however, come amid extremely limited doses of the vaccines, meaning appointments can be tough to come by. Some people have reported spending hours online trying to snag spots or choosing appointments far from their homes, in hopes of not having to wait weeks, or months, for their turn. Others say they’ve been unable to find appointments at all.

The retail pharmacies and county began scheduling appointments as the state moved into phase 1b of COVID-19 vaccinations Monday, which includes people ages 65 and older and front-line essential workers such as teachers and public transportation and grocery store employees. Many hospital systems have also started sending out electronic invitations to senior patients to make appointments for the shots.

Illinois is expecting about 120,000 first doses of vaccine this week, not including those going to Chicago, Gov. J.B. Pritzker said at a news conference Monday. About 3.2 million seniors and essential workers in Illinois are eligible for the vaccine as part of this phase.

Walgreens is vaccinating seniors and essential workers at 92 sites across Illinois, according to Pritzker’s office, and appointments can be made at https://www.walgreens.com/findcare/vaccination/covid-19 . Jewel-Osco is allowing people to make appointments online at https://www.mhealthappointments.com/covidappt , with shots starting Tuesday, according to the governor’s office.

Walmart is taking appointments for seniors and essential workers at six of its stores in Chicago at https://www.walmart.com/cp/1228302 .

Hy-Vee pharmacies are offering COVID-19 vaccinations to eligible recipients in the central and northern parts of the state. With 16 locations in Bloomington, Canton, Galesburg, Hamilton, Milan, Moline, Macomb, Peoria, Peru, Rock Island, Silvis, Springfield, and Sycamore, Hy-Vee estimates being able to provide up to 200 vaccinations each day starting Wednesday.

To make an appointment, register at https://www.hy-vee.com/my-pharmacy/covid-vaccine-consent .

The Cook County Department of Public Health began scheduling appointments Monday at vaccine.cookcountyil.gov and 833-308-1988.

“While we’re excited to be taking these steps, I want to be sure we set clear expectations,” Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle said at a news conference Monday. “At this moment, demand is heavily outweighing our supply of vaccines.”

As of Monday, CVS Health was not making vaccinations available to Illinois residents at its stores, spokesman Charlie Rice-Minoso said in an email. CVS and Walgreens have contracted with the federal government to vaccinate residents of long-term care facilities.

Enormous demand, coupled with slim supplies of vaccines, has sent many Chicago-area residents into a frenzy trying to find appointments.

Keri Halperin, 49, of Northbrook, stayed up until midnight one night last week to schedule appointments for her parents and in-laws at Walgreens.

She was able to get four different appointments for them — at four different Walgreens in four different towns — for this week. She said she knows people who live in the Chicago area who are traveling as far as Peoria and Carbondale for appointments.

“It was all we could do, and we just wanted to make sure we get them their shots,” Halperin said, noting that her parents and in-laws are all older than 75 and, in some cases, have serious health conditions. “I want my parents to be protected.”

She said the system seems unfair because not everyone has a relative who can make an appointment in the middle of the night, and not everyone can drive to a distant location for a shot.

Older people who aren’t tech-savvy are particularly worried about scheduling their appointments, said Dr. Eve Bloomgarden, an endocrinologist at Northwestern Medicine and a co-founder of the Illinois Medical Professionals Action Collaborative Team, which is a group of Illinois doctors and health care professionals working to address pandemic-related issues. This past weekend, the group started widely distributing on social media a list of places to get vaccinated.

“People are panicking about whether they’re going to miss their opportunity,” said Bloomgarden, who likened the process to getting opening-night tickets to the play “Hamilton.”

“Their younger kids, ages 18 to 50, are basically devoting hours of time a day to trying to get appointments for their parents,” Bloomgarden said. “I think it would be really nice to have a more equitable system where you didn’t have to try to play all these games because it’s really going to weed out people who can’t do this.”

Many seniors and essential workers also will be able to sign up with their health systems for inoculations, but those systems are not all moving at the same pace.

Some systems, such as Loyola Medicine, began vaccinating people in phase 1b Monday, while others have not started.

Loyola Medicine has enough doses to vaccinate about 900 people a day, for now, said Dr. Richard Freeman, regional chief clinical officer. The system has been sending messages to some of its eligible patients inviting them to schedule appointments, but it takes time to get everyone who’s eligible into that invitation system, he said.

Some seniors and essential workers aren’t sure whether to wait for invitations from their health systems or hunt for appointments across all the available sites, grabbing whatever they can find first. Freeman recommends they contact their doctors’ offices for recommendations and then decide whether they’d like to wait for an appointment with their own health systems or try their luck elsewhere.

The Cook County Department of Public Health encourages people to look for appointments with multiple providers but to schedule only one appointment.

“We do not have adequate vaccine supply to vaccinate everyone immediately,” Preckwinkle said. “With this in mind, we’re once again asking for your patience.”

Walgreens, Jewel Osco Open COVID Vaccine Appointments for Illinois Residents in Phase 1B

There are now several ways eligible residents will be able to get vaccinated, published january 25, 2021 • updated on january 25, 2021 at 4:23 pm.

Beginning Monday, several Walgreens and Jewel-Osco locations began vaccinations or opened up appointments for Illinois residents eligible under Phase 1B of the state's vaccine rollout.

Phase 1B opens up vaccinations to people age 65 years and older as well as "frontline essential workers," which includes first responders, education workers like teachers and support staff, childcare workers, grocery store employees, postal service workers and more.

There are several ways eligible residents will be able to get vaccinated, but state officials have urged patience as the new phase opens up.

According to Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, Walgreens has started providing vaccinations at 92 sites statewide. Jewel-Osco will begin vaccinations Tuesday, but launched its site to schedule appointments Monday.

The state said "additional pharmacy partners will be coming online and opening registration for appointments" in the coming days as well.

A Walmart spokeswoman confirmed Friday that beginning this week and next, the big-box retailer will start providing inoculations in the city of Chicago as well as in Indiana along with six other states.

The company has already been providing vaccinations in New Mexico and Arkansas, where it's headquartered. (For more information on their vaccine rollout click here .)

In addition to Walgreens and Jewel-Osco, Illinois' Department of Public Health also launched a site for eligible residents to find vaccine events and make appointments.

“This site will serve as a hub of all vaccine-related information, directing residents to the appointment booking homepages of our 97 local health departments and our pharmacy partners, which will total hundreds of locations statewide," Pritzker said in a statement. "That also includes information on our first Illinois National Guard mass vaccination site, opening tomorrow at Tinley Park Convention Center, and will be updated as more state-run sites and hundreds of additional local options come online. As federal supply is currently limited and every state in the nation is facing a shortage, I urge all eligible Illinoisans to check back regularly for available appointments – and in the meantime, mask up, keep our distance, wash our hands, and remember we’ll stay healthy and safe if we look out for each other.”  

Here's a full breakdown of how to register or schedule an appointment at the above locations:

• You may be required to provide proof of employment as health care personnel using an employee ID, a recent letter from your employer, or a recent pay stub. If you are not eligible in this phase, your vaccination appointment will be rejected.
• An appointment confirmation email
• A COVID-19 Vaccination Authorization Form with your registration code (if applicable)
• State ID, valid driver’s license or other government-issued ID
• Work ID or other document to show proof of employment (for healthcare workers, frontline and essential workers only)
• Medical and/or pharmacy benefit insurance card
• Download, print and complete the  vaccination consent form . If you don’t bring the completed form, you will need to complete it at the pharmacy before your vaccination.
• Proof of employment (badge, paystub, uniform, etc)
• Medical license (if applicable)
• Drivers license
• Medical and prescription insurance cards
• Last 4 digits of SSN

"At this time, these sites will be available by appointment only," the governor's office said in a release Monday. "As the federal supply of vaccines increases and Illinois receives more vaccine, the state will launch walk-in locations and expand sites to additional providers like doctor’s offices and urgent care clinics. More information about those locations will be released in the coming weeks."
