CHICAGO (CBS) — The at-home vaccination program, Protect Chicago At Home, started as an effort to get shots to seniors who are homebound, but has since expanded to anyone age 12 and up, for up to 10 people per household.
On Tuesday, city officials said the city is now doubling the capacity of that program, allowing them to offer up to 900 appointments per week, and expand operating ours, with appointments available weekdays between 8 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. Officials said the additional capacity should reduce wait times for at-home appointments, which are currently fully booked two weeks out.
