Cook County Department of Public follows the scienced-based vaccination recommendations of the Illinois Department of Public Health for flu, COVID-19, flu and RSV vaccinations. Access more details about our vaccination guidance to prevent respiratory illnesses here .

For other routine, non-seasonal, vaccinations, we follow the recommended vaccination schedule of the American Academy of Pediatrics as well as the CDC adult immunization schedule and the CDC youth immunization schedule from Aug. 7, 2025.

Cook County Department of Public Health, in conjunction with Cook County Health and CountyCare, is offering free flu and COVID-19 shots at its Saturday vaccination clinics, located in five suburban Cook County locations.

Children (6 months and up) and adults can receive flu and COVID-19 vaccines at no cost, regardless of insurance coverage, at the Saturday walk-in clinics. The clinics are open on certain Saturdays from Oct. 18 through March 28, 2026, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., at five different locations in suburban Cook County. A person’s immigration status will not stop them from receiving immunizations. More details about the clinics are below:
