Chicago-Operated COVID-19 Vaccine Sites To Begin Accepting Walk-Ins Friday

CHICAGO (CBS) -- Fore the first time since Chicago rolled out the COVID-19 vaccine, the city's top doctor, Dr. Allison Arwady, says there is an ample supply for everyone.

This comes even though the Johnson & Johnson shot has been removed from distribution.

"The good news, and I really want people to hear this, is if you want a vaccine in Chicago, you can absolutely get one. You can get one today," Arwady said.

As a result, all sites operated by the City of Chicago, including the United Center, will begin accepting walk-ins Friday -- no appointments necessary.

The shots are available to anyone 16 and older. However, teens under 18 need a parent or guardian.
