Ongoing COVID-19 Initiatives
Where did I put my mask?

On Monday, Illinois reinstituted statewide indoor mask requirements, regardless of vaccination status. Click here to see why the CDC says even fully vaccinated individuals should mask up. 
 
Need a mask (or know someone who does)? DHC is offering free, reusable cloth masks to low-income DuPage County residents and local nonprofits. Click here to make a request.

These are numbers we can get excited about!

As of this week, at least 71% of our 5,037 low-income uninsured Access DuPage enrollees have gotten vaccinated! The actual number is likely significantly higher as we continue patient outreach efforts to the 22% of our members for whom we don’t yet have vaccination data. We are also working closely with those members who have declined vaccination, answering their questions, addressing concerns, and cheering each time another patient decides to get their vaccine.

This success is celebrated alongside our partners throughout the county, including our FQHCS and DuPage County Health Department. Please join us in thanking them for their hard work and congratulating them for the success of their efforts!  
Flu Season is Coming, but we’re ready!

We were pleased to partner with DuPage County on an inaugural flu shot project last fall, connecting thousands of our neighbors to flu vaccines. This partnership helped to make 2020-21 one of the mildest flu seasons on record. We are thrilled to announce that we are relaunching that initiative in September, with even more ways to connect uninsured patients to free flu shots. Look for details to come!

Did you know the CDC has indicated that it is safe to get the flu vaccine and the COVID-19 vaccine at the same time? More information here.
