Volunteers Needed to Help With Vaccination Clinics
Your help is needed at COVID-19 vaccination clinics. While those with medical training are needed to serve as vaccinators and wellness-check observers, there are many roles available for volunteers that don’t require medical knowledge.

Senior Citizens: Get Help and Vaccine Information Over the Phone
The Lake County Health Department provides support for COVID-19 vaccine registration through its AllVax Support Center, Mondays to Fridays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. by phone at (847) 377-8130, and by email at AllVax@lakecountyil.gov.
Beginning this week, additional volunteers are available to take calls from Lake County residents age 65 and older during special senior hours:
-
Tuesdays: Noon to 3 p.m.
-
Thursdays: 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
-
Fridays: Noon to 3 p.m.
During the hours listed above, seniors calling (847) 377-8130 can select option 1 to be routed to a volunteer. Because vaccine supply is very limited at this time and demand is high, volunteers at the call center cannot schedule or expedite appointments. However, they can help people register and answer questions about the process. If you leave a voicemail when you call, a volunteer will call you back.
