Three Cook County vaccine locations are reopening amid a shortage of appointments due to the omicron COVID variant and new mandates.

When the last shot was administered at Forest Park's mass vaccination site nearly six months ago, demand had dwindled now that shots are readily available at local pharmacies. But with demand on the rise, Forest Park will be the first of three sites to reopen, starting Tuesday.

The omicron surge and vaccine mandates have led to the appointment shortage, and the numbers are still behind what officials would like to see.Once open, these sites will offer all three approved vaccines - Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson, and people can get either their primary shots or their boosters.

Donny told us this was a hoax that would be over like a miracle then he got vaccinated The continued spread of the virus has been supported by Biden. His policies have permitted thousands of untested/unvaccinated people to infiltrate our population thru the southern border. And Fauci has said nothing about it.
