Boost Up Cook County
Free COVID-19 and Flu Vaccination Clinics
Children (6 months and up) and adults can receive COVID-19 and flu vaccines at no cost, regardless of insurance coverage, at walk-in clinics offered by Cook County Department of Public Health. The clinics are open on certain Saturdays from Oct. 19 through February 22, 2025, 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. Learn more about the clinic locations and other details.
Get vaccinated
Cook County public health officials are encouraging everyone to “Boost Up” even if you are “boosted out.” Stay up-to-date on all CDC-recommended immunizations, including seasonal vaccines for COVID , flu and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) , if eligible.
Everyone 6 months and older should get an updated COVID-19 vaccine and a flu vaccine. The RSV vaccine can be given at the same time and is recommended for all adults 65 and older.
Routine vaccinations help prevent:
- Severe illness, hospitalization, and death
- Missing out on social gatherings with friends and family
- Missing out on school and extracurricular activities
- Spreading diseases to children and others who aren’t vaccinated because of age or underlying medical conditions
