Vaccine Appointment Registration Opens For New Kane County Site

KANE COUNTY, IL — Kane County officials launched a website Thursday for residents to make appointments to get a coronavirus vaccine at the county’s new mass site in Batavia.

Residents can now sign up at KaneVax.org to receive a coronavirus vaccine at the site, which is slated to open Friday at the former Sam’s Club in Batavia. The site will be open 12 hours a day, six days a week, though it will close earlier on days when it administers all available doses.
