NOW VACCINATING 12+
Will County Health Department’s COVID-19 vaccination sites are now open to children ages 12 to 15 for the two-dose Pfizer vaccine. Previously, only 16 and older could receive the vaccine.
All minors under 18 must have a parent or legal guardian present during their appointment and must remain with the child throughout the entire visit.
Find your Pfizer Vaccine Clinic below or call 815-774-7386 to schedule an appointment.
Can’t Attend Appointment With Your Child?

-
- The minor is accompanied by someone over the age of 18 designated by their parent or legal guardian, and
- The minor brings the consent FORM signed by their parent or legal guardian. SPANISH FORM
