Vaccination & Communication Resources for Health Care Providers in Illinois

Illinois is home to a diverse population, composed of hundreds of different cultures, with new arrivals joining our communities every day. Many of these populations may not have had access to vaccines before coming to our state and need assistance with getting vaccinated. To help our new arrivals and the health care professionals who support them, we’ve developed a series of key resources to help ensure vaccines are accessible and comfortable for all new arrivals.
