Supervisor Paul O’Grady and the Township board said they were proud to also offer an aggressive COVID vaccination program for seniors, the most vulnerable group to the pandemic.

More than 200 eager residents flocked to Orland Township on Friday, Oct. 29, to receive a dose of the COVID-19 booster shot in the Township Activity Center. Thanks to the joint effort of Orland Township and Jewel-Osco, attendees had the choice between the Pfizer and Moderna boosters, along with access to an optional flu shot.

 Over the last week, the Township managed set up a registration process for all residents, giving them access to an opportunity not all are aware of. Jewel-Osco pharmacists were on site administering the vaccines to the residents as they arrived, while Orland Township volunteer nurses stood by ready with flu shots.

“As we continue to navigate our way through the pandemic, we must continue to put the health and safety of our residents first. Orland Township is glad to have had the chance to help distribute both COVID-19 vaccines and boosters,” Orland Township Supervisor Paul O’Grady said. “We are also grateful for the efforts of Jewel-Osco, and our volunteer nurses, who are always able to make these events happen.”

Orland Township is continuing to work on arranging more clinic dates to provide access to the COVID-19 booster for the public. Residents 65 and older who have not already received the booster are strongly encouraged to do so. Orland Township’s next booster clinic is anticipated to be in mid-November.
