​Finding a COVID-19 Vaccine Near You​

• The City of Chicago maintains a Vaccine Finder webpage that can be used to find vaccination providers near your location. You can also call the city's COVID-19 hotline for assistance at (312) 746-4835.  

​

Be aware of scams

If anyone asks you to pay for access to a COVID-19 vaccine, you can bet it’s a scam. Don’t share your personal or financial information if someone calls, texts, or emails you promising access to a vaccine for an extra fee. 

​

Testing for COVID-19​​​

• The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) has compiled a list of testing sites throughout the state of Illinois.

• The City of Chicago has compiled resources for testing options in the city including community health centers, pharmacies, community-based testing, and more.

Accessing Healthcare

If you have insurance and believe you need non-emergency medical services, you can contact your insurance carrier to help locate care or to use a telemedicine service like Teledoc. If you have misplaced your insurance card, your employer’s benefits manager (usually human resources department) can provide you with the contact information. 

​

Uninsured and low / no-income residents who need non-emergency medical services should locate their nearest community health center (CHC) at findahealthcenter.hrsa.gov. CHCs receive funding from the federal government that allows them to charge each patient on a sliding scale fee based on the patient’s income and ability to pay.​​​​
