WE ARE WINNING!
Will County is winning because of you! In the past 6 weeks, we have more than tripled our percentage of fully vaccinated individuals from 7.10% on March 9th to 24.6% on April 23rd of the total population of Will County.
Even more encouraging is that as of April 23rd, 48% of Will County residents over the age of 18 have received their first dose or been fully vaccinated.
We still have a long way to go to get everyone fully vaccinated, especially our 16-18 year old age group. We have dedicated three clinics to providing Pfizer only vaccines to make it easy for scheduling their vaccine. See above for locations and links to schedule.
