Chicagoans that are currently eligible under Phase 1A and 1B, including healthcare workers, essential frontline workers, and residents over the age of 65, will still be eligible.

In Phase 1C, essential workers that are eligible for the vaccine will include workers in all of the following groups:

  • Clergy and religious organizations

  • Energy

  • Finance

  • Food and beverage service

  • Higher Education

  • Information Technology and communications
