D-86 Offers Vaccine To More Residents

HINSDALE, IL — Hinsdale High School District 86 is teaming up with Osco on Monday to administer the single-shot Johnson & Johnson coronavirus vaccine, the district said in a statement Sunday.

The district said the vaccines are to be offered to the following categories of people:

• Health care personnel
• Long-term care residents
• People who are 65 or older
• Expanded essential workers in the 1B category
• People with disabilities
• People with a specific health-complicating condition or status that include obesity, diabetes, pulmonary diseases, smoking, heart conditions, chronic kidney disease, cancer, solid organ transplant, sickle cell disease or pregnancy.
• Government employees
• Higher education employees
• News media services employees

The vaccinations will take place from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday at Hinsdale Central High School, 5500 S. Grant St. in Hinsdale, and will be provided free of charge, the district said.

The district said slots remain available even after it shared this information with people ages 65 and older who pre-registered with the district in February and March. To help ensure that none of the doses go to waste, the district said it is extending the opportunity to the community on a first-come, first-served basis.

If you or someone in your family lives in Illinois, is at least 18 years old, and falls under one or more of the eligible categories listed above, you can schedule an appointment via Osco's online portal.
