Champaign County COVID-19 Pfizer Booster Clinics Expand
Community vaccination clinics available to all eligible individuals
CHAMPAIGN, IL – The Champaign-Urbana Public Health District (CUPHD), in partnership with Carle
Health, OSF HealthCare, Christie Clinic, Promise Healthcare, and the University of Illinois UrbanaChampaign are hosting community-based COVID-19 Pfizer booster vaccination clinics throughout the month of October.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), many of the people who are now eligible to receive a booster shot received their initial vaccine early in the vaccination program and will benefit from additional protection. With the Delta variant’s dominance as the circulating strain and cases of COVID-19 increasing significantly across the United States, a booster shot will help strengthen protection against severe disease in those populations who are at high-risk for exposure to COVID-19 or the complications from severe disease. Additional information can be found at: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/booster-shot.html.
Pfizer booster vaccinations are available to all eligible individuals at both locations. Reminder: the booster must be at least 6 months after the 2nd Pfizer dose.
