Dear Students,
We are excited to share that the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) has announced upcoming “College Vaccination Days” to help college students gain access to COVID-19 vaccination appointments. We strongly encourage students to seize this opportunity to get vaccinated.
Starting tomorrow, Saturday, April 17, and into early next week, mass vaccination sites across the state will reserve COVID-19 vaccination appointments specifically for college students. To view IDPH’s full list of “College Vaccination Days” locations and dates go to dph.illinois.gov/collegeday.

- Sunday, April 18: 970 N. Lake St., Aurora (coupon code: PH7XHW3PRXX6BKXA)
