LIST: Where to Get Pediatric Vaccines for ‘Vaccination Awareness Day’ in Chicago

Chicago Public Schools classes are canceled for "Vaccination Awareness Day" Friday so both parents and children can get their COVID-19 shots.

The move was made after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued an emergency use authorization for Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine for children between the ages of 5 and 11.

“To ensure all eligible students have the opportunity to receive the vaccine as quickly as possible, CPS schools will be closed on Friday, Nov. 12, for Vaccination Awareness Day,” CPS said in a statement.

Faculty and staff will be given paid days off, according to officials. City employees in Chicago will also receive two hours of paid leave to get COVID-19 vaccines for themselves and their families.

The district said kids ages 5 to 11 will be eligible for a $100 Visa gift card if they get the two-dose vaccine. City employees will also get two hours of paid leave Friday if they get the shot for themselves or their families.

Parents and guardians looking for appointments can reach out to their healthcare provider, local pharmacy, or check http://www.chi.gov/YouthVax for other vaccination opportunities for anyone between the ages of 5 and 11.

At most vaccination locations, parents must accompany the child. Exceptions include CPS school-located vaccination clinics, school-based health centers, and some healthcare providers, with signed consent forms from a parent or guardian.
