CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- All aboard the Vaccination Station!
The Chicago Department of Public Health and the Chicago Transit Authority are working together to bring COVID-19 vaccines to Chicagoans at select CTA “L” stations every Monday and Friday starting June 18.
All vaccines will be offered aboard the CTA’s mobile vaccination bus, called the Vaccination Station, which will be parked outside the select “L” stations.
On Mondays, vaccines will be available from 3 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the 95th/Dan Ryan station on the Red Line, the Belmont station on the Blue Line, the 35th/Archer station on the Orange Line, the 63rd/Ashland station on the Green Line, and the Kedzie station on the Pink Line.
On Fridays, residents can get vaccinated between 3 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. at the Kimball station on the Brown Line, the Western station on the Orange Line, the 87th Street station on the Red Line, and the Central station on the Green Line.
It is part of the city’s hyperlocal strategy to bring vaccines to residents in neighborhoods throughout the city, especially those with lower vaccination rates.
Both Pfizer (age 12 and up) and J & J (age 18 and up) vaccine will be available. Any minors under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian for vaccination.
A complete list of vaccine special events and pop-ups is on the City’s vaccine website at www.chicago.gov/vaxcalendar. New events are added weekly.
All COVID-19 vaccines are offered at no cost to everyone, no insurance or ID required.
