New COVID-19 Vaccination Clinic for Ages 65 and Older

A Special E-News Message from the Village President, Catherine M. Adduci

February 28, 2021

Dear River Forest Residents,

The Village of River Forest is proud to again partner with Jewel Osco to provide a free COVID-19 Vaccine Clinic for individuals ages 65 and older. This clinic will utilize the Moderna vaccine. Please help us spread the word to River Forest residents in this age group who still need the vaccine. This is an additional vaccine clinic as the Village was able to secure 200 additional doses through its partnership with Jewel Osco. Please note... anyone who participated in the clinic on February 26 should not register for this clinic.

When: Tuesday, March 2 (first dose) and Tuesday, March 30 (second dose). Appointments will be offered between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m.
Who: Individuals age 65 and older. Please register only if you know you are available on March 2 and March 30 to receive both vaccine doses. Limited vaccines are available and sign-up will be offered while supplies last. Individuals who sign up and are not 65 or older will be unable to receive the vaccine.
Where: River Forest Village Hall - 400 Park Avenue.
How: If you are 65 or older and are interested in this opportunity, please click here to register. River Forest residents who need help registering or are unable to make arrangements for their own transportation please contact the River Forest Senior Response Team at 708-613-1642.

Appointments are available on a first-come, first-served basis and are limited based on the number of doses available. Once the event is full the Village will post a waitlist and if a dose becomes available because of a cancellation or missed appointment, the Village will contact people on the waitlist.

All individuals in Illinois age 65 and older can receive the vaccine regardless of insurance coverage or immigration status, including individuals who are undocumented.

Thank you to Jewel Osco for making this event possible.
