Orland Township will be holding a COVID-19 Pfizer Booster Clinic on Wednesday, Oct. 11.

Anyone planning on attending any of the clinics should wear a short-sleeved shirt and arrive in good health. At the clinic, a team of healthcare professionals from Jewel-Osco Pharmacy will administer the COVID-19 booster vaccine to help protect against the virus.

Appointments are required and can be made online at www.orlandtownship.org. Please bring a copy of your driver’s license, insurance card, and CDC vaccination record card.
