Cook County Launches Winter Vaccine Clinics Amid Rising Respiratory Illnesses

As respiratory illnesses surge in Cook County, including high levels of RSV and influenza, the local health department is taking proactive measures to protect the community. With COVID-19 cases also beginning to rise, the Department of Public Health is organizing a series of vaccine clinics this winter to ensure residents have access to necessary vaccinations.

One of the upcoming clinics will take place at the Cottage Grove Health Center this Saturday, providing an opportunity for individuals to receive their vaccines in a convenient location. The clinics aim to address the increasing demand for vaccinations as more people seek protection against these seasonal illnesses.

Health officials emphasize the importance of getting vaccinated, particularly for vulnerable populations, to reduce the spread of respiratory infections. Residents are encouraged to take advantage of these clinics to safeguard their health and that of their families as the winter months approach.
