Available doses of FDA-approved Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines throughout Illinois have been limited up to this point. It has been challenging for those who qualify under Phase 1B & Phase 1B+ of the state's vaccination plan to set up an appointment.

Thanks to the partnership with Lombard's Jewel Osco Pharmacy, the Lombard Park District has been able to host three vaccination clinic at their Madison Meadow Athletic Center for those who qualify.
