COVID-19 Vaccine Appointments Open For New Trier Area Residents

NORTHFIELD, IL — Residents of a half-dozen North Shore communities were briefly eligible to sign up to receive a coronavirus vaccine next week at New Trier High School, local officials announced.

Everyone aged 16 or older who lives in Glencoe, Kenilworth, Northbrook, Northfield, Wilmette or Winnetka could register to receive the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine at New Trier's Northfield campus, 7 Happ Road.

The first dose clinic was set for Tuesday. Second doses were to be scheduled for the same time as the first dose appointment on May 4, according to village staff.

Vaccination appointments were made in the order in which people registered online, officials said. No appointments by phone were made available.

But within minutes of local officials releasing the sign-up link, the online portal indicated there were no appointments available.

No information about the number of doses made available at the site or the sign-up process was immediately available from a spokesperson for Cook County Health, the only organization authorized to discuss the operation, according to its agreement with the New Trier High School District 203 board for use of its gymnasium.

The New Trier site is staffed by employees from participating northern Cook County towns, with doses provided via Cook County and Jewel-Osco pharmacy.
