Vaccines are a great equalizer–allowing us to be healthy and thrive. So why are some not sure about the shots? It all comes down to trust. For the past year the @EVICommunity piloted several community-led models that make this decision a no brainer: buildingvaccinedemand.org

The vaccine works. While there were more "breakthrough" infections through the Omicron surge, vax'd Chicagoans continue to be HALF as likely to be diagnosed with COVID than unvax'd Chicagoans. Get the facts and your vaccine on chi.gov/covidvax.

Great graphic from @YoungInvincible on common questions about the Covid-19 Booster. Check it out below 👇
Everyone 12 or older should get a COVID booster! 12-15 year olds are now eligible for a Pfizer booster 6 months after their 2nd dose. Remember: the vaccines & boosters are still our best tools for reducing your chance of severe illness or hospitalization w/ #COVID19. #GenVaxxed
Way to go! 80% is a huge accomplishment! Shout out to @ChiPublicHealth and all of the organizations that have worked to get here!
GREAT NEWS: 80% of Chicagoans (12y ) have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. The vaccine is the best way to protect yourself and your family from severe illness due to the virus. More info and resources at chi.gov/covidvax.
