AgeOptions is working with CIMPAR to administer in-home COVID-19 Vaccine and boosters for people 60+ living in suburban Cook County who need the shot brought to their homes. To qualify for an in-home vaccination or booster from AgeOptions, a person must:

If someone under 60 needs an in-home vaccination or booster, please refer them to the Cook County Department of Public Health (CCDPH) using the “In-Home Vaccination” form at https://vaccine.cookcountyil.gov/ (see tab in upper right hand corner).
