CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- Two new mass vaccination sites open Monday in Chicago - one at Chicago State University and another just outside Wrigley Field.
Beginning Monday, April 5, Chicago residents eligible under Phase 1A, 1B, and 1C of the city's COVID vaccine rollout will be able to get a vaccine from Chicago State University or the American Airlines Conference Center at Gallagher Way next to Wrigley Field.
Both sites are by appointment only, but the city said initial vaccine appointments at the CSU site will only be open to certain zip codes in order "to ensure equitable distribution." The zip codes include: 60617, 60619, 60620, 60621, 60628, 60633, 60636, 60643, 60649, 60655, and 60827.
The American Airlines Conference Center site at Gallagher Way next to Wrigley Field is open to all Chicagoans who are eligible.
