FLU SHOTS:

 CMS has released its Flu Shot Options for the fall of 2021 from September 28 through November 4. Because of Covid, access is different than in the past and for those outside of Springfield and the Chicago area, the best option may be your local health department.

 For the Springfield Area: https://www2.illinois.gov/cms/benefits/StateEmployee/Documents/Flu_Shot/2021/2021springfieldflu%20schedule.pdf

For the Chicago Area: https://www2.illinois.gov/cms/benefits/StateEmployee/Documents/Flu_Shot/2021/2021chicago%20and%20downstate%20flu%20schedule.pdf
