What's New
(Updated Tuesdays & Thursdays)

COVID-19 vaccination will help protect you from getting COVID-19. You may have some side effects, which are normal signs that your body is building protection. These side effects may affect your ability to do daily activities, but they should go away in a few days. If you have pain or discomfort, talk to your doctor about taking an over-the-counter medicine, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen. Common side effects include pain and swelling in the arm where you receive the shot.
- As vaccine distribution continues to grow, vaccine supply will be limited and vaccinations will be targeted to specific groups of people with a higher risk for COVID-19 infection. It will take time to reach all people within each target population and phase. Learn more about vaccine phases and eligibility in the following flyers:

- Q: When will I get the COVID-19 vaccine?
-
A: The Winnebago County Health Department looks forward to announcing more information about local distribution of the vaccine — including the organization of vaccination clinics — as soon as it is available. We are still currently processing Phase 1A individuals and fire and police personnel. Your healthcare provider or pharmacy may be vaccinating other eligible populations. We encourage you to visit their websites for additional information. Please limit phone calls as many systems are overwhelmed at this time.
