Orland Township Partnership with Jewel Osco Continues

Another group of local seniors will be receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, thanks to the partnership between Orland Township and Jewel-Osco pharmacy, according to the office of Orland Township Supervisor Paul O’Grady.

Orland Township has contacted over 200 seniors and registered them to receive their first COVID-19 vaccine on March 25 at the Township office. Seniors contacted were called in the order in which they had previously signed up on the Township’s website, orlandtownship.org. Jewel-Osco pharmacists will administer the vaccines to the residents when they arrive at the Township office.

“Orland Township is proud to continue this important partnership with Jewel-Osco to provide the COVID-19 vaccine to our seniors,” Supervisor O’Grady said. “Orland Township is committed to their health and welfare.”

During the first round of vaccines offered by Orland Township and Jewel-Osco, nearly 500 local seniors were vaccinated and will receive their second dose on Monday, March 22 and Tuesday, March 23 at Andrew High School. By mid-April, nearly 750 local seniors will have received both vaccines through the Orland Township-Jewel Osco partnership.

Orland Township also is working diligently to arrange other partnerships to boost its vaccine supply. Township residents 65 and older who have not already scheduled an appointment to receive the vaccine from a different provider are encouraged sign up on the Township’s website: orlandtownship.org

All eligible residents completing the form will be prioritized based on the order in which their requests are received and will be contacted if and when additional doses become available.

Orland Township also has partnered with Parkview Christian Church to assist senior residents with registering for the COVID-19 vaccine through Cook County’s portal and is offering COVID-19 vaccine updates as developments warrant. For additional details, please visit orlandtownship.org.
