We continue to work with our partners to vaccinate as many Winnebago County residents as possible, as quickly as possible. All appointments at the Sunnyview Vaccine Clinic this week are full, and walk-ins are not allowed. Vaccine supply is still limited, and we will keep the public informed of any new opportunities for vaccination. We appreciate your patience. For those that have a scheduled vaccination appointment at Sunnyview this week, please review the following information:
- Do not arrive sooner than 10 minutes before your appointment time. This is in an effort to keep socially distanced, prevent long lines and eliminate the need to wait outdoors.
- This is an indoor clinic. Please follow the entrance signs and go to the main door marked #500.
- This site is separate from the Sunnyview testing site. Closure announcements for the testing site do not affect the vaccination clinic.
- Parking is provided. Please plan for a short walk to the entrance. Staff is available if you require assistance.
- Plan to stay 15-30 minutes after your vaccination for observation.
- Prior to your appointment, review the following documents. If you are unable to view them, they will be available on site.
- Pfizer Fact Sheet
- Next Steps After you Receive the COVID-19 Vaccine
-
Consent Form - If you are able, please bring a completed consent form to your appointment to speed up the check-in process.

The new CDC order requiring face masks for all travelers and operators of public transportation went into effect on February 1. Masks completely covering the mouth and nose must be worn while awaiting or traveling on planes, trains, buses, taxis, ride-shares and other forms of public transportation traveling into, within, or out of the United States and U.S. territories. People must also wear masks while at transportation hubs (e.g., airports, bus terminals and train stations) and other locations where people board public transportation. Additional ways to protect yourself when using public transportation.
-
Multiple variants of the virus that causes COVID-19 are circulating globally. So far, studies suggest that antibodies generated through vaccination with currently authorized vaccines recognize these variants. This is being closely investigated and more studies are underway. Rigorous and increased compliance with public health mitigation strategies, such as vaccination, physical distancing, use of masks, hand hygiene, and isolation and quarantine, is essential to limit the spread of the virus that causes COVID-19 and protect public health.
-
The data is not yet available to establish the safety of the COVID-19 vaccine when it comes to pregnant women. We do know that pregnancy may increase the risk of illness from COVID-19. Studies are ongoing and more are planned. The recommendations state if a pregnant woman is part of a recommended group, such as a health care professional, she may choose to be vaccinated and have a conversation with her health care professional about risk and benefits. For women who are breastfeeding, mRNA vaccines are not thought to be a risk to breastfeeding infants and she may choose to be vaccinated as well. More data is needed for children, which is forthcoming. Learn more on CDC’s website.
