There are a number of options currently available in the Chicago area. It s important to note, however, that while anyone over the age of 16 is eligible for vaccinations in Illinois, only those 18 and older can receive the J&J vaccine.
United Center
From May 4 through May 10, the vaccination site will strictly offer the one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine for walk-in appointments.
The United Center site operates seven days a week and was originally slated to be open for eight weeks with the ability to administer 6,000 shots per day at full capacity, officials said. Those doses have been provided directly from the federal government and not diverted from the supply sent to Chicago or Illinois.

Happy Thursday, Illinois. The talk in my house is about baseball. The Cubs won, the Sox were snowed out, and the A s are on a winning streak.
