A message from VILLAGE OF RIVER FOREST
A Special E-News Message from the Village President, Catherine M. Adduci

Dear River Forest Residents,
COVID-19 Vaccine
The Village will continue to share all vaccine distribution information with residents as we receive it from the Cook County Department of Health (CCDPH). At this time, COVID-19 vaccine doses remain limited. For more information, please reference the updates I provided in the Special E-News on Monday and Wednesday of this week.
Please remember:
- The distribution of vaccines and management of the vaccine process is the responsibility of the CCDPH. The Village of River Forest is not distributing the COVID-19 vaccine. While we continue to stand ready to assist if needed, vaccine distribution is being managed by the CCDPH.
- The Village of River Forest and the River Forest COVID-19 Senior Response Team continue to stand ready to assist if needed. At this time, we are working to help provide information to the community and answer questions to the best of our ability.
- Please be patient — Appointments to receive the vaccine are being made available based on the number of doses received by Cook County and its partners. The supply of COVID-19 vaccine doses is extremely limited. As more supply is available, more appointments will be made available.
According to officials at CCDPH, residents that sign up through the portal and who are eligible to receive the vaccine, will receive email notifications about appointments that are available at sites nearest to them. Residents are also encouraged to check back on the County website (using the link provided in the confirmation email) to check for available appointments at other County facilities or with their private partners such as Jewel or Walgreens in River Forest.
If you have not already, please CLICK HERE TO SIGN-UP.
