COVID-19 vaccine appointments now available for Vermilion County residents 65 and older

Carle Hoopeston Regional Health Center in partnership with the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH), is offering COVID-19 vaccine clinics by appointment only at Village Mall in Danville.

 

CHRHC is one of 10 Critical Access Hospitals in Illinois supporting a pilot program to bring vaccine to underserved communities.

 

“We’re proud to partner with the State to ensure those who need vaccine most have an opportunity to receive it. The Village Mall storefront offers a convenient and accessible location with adequate social distancing to vaccinate more Vermilion County residents,” Kimberly Franklin, MSN, patient care manager, said. “We hope to serve several thousand people in the coming days.”

 

Vermilion County vaccine clinics are by appointment only at Village Mall, 2917 N Vermilion St., Danville, IL (inside the former Hallmark storefront). Please enter through the main mall entrance near Joann Fabrics.

To register:

  • Schedule online through MyCarle.com for the fastest service.
  • Call (217) 902-6100. Due to high call volume, you may experience an extended wait time so we appreciate your patience.
  • Sign up for text or phone notification when new appointments become available at carle.org.

 

Patients will need to wear a face covering, practice social distancing and plan to allow at least 15 minutes for observation after the vaccination. Please limit the number of individuals in your party that are not receiving the vaccine and wear clothing to allow easy access to the upper portion of the arm for the injection.

 

There is no cost to individuals to get a COVID vaccine. You may be asked to bring your insurance card if you have one, but you will not be turned away if you do not have insurance.
