COVID-19 News

The Oak Park Department of Public Health continues to assess various mitigation measures in place to slow the spread of COVID-19 as metrics steadily improve after the surge in cases brought on by the omicron variant earlier this winter. For the latest information about local COVID-19 measures and Oak Park’s response to the pandemic, visit www.oak-park.us/covid19.

Minimize transmission…Although cases are declining and COVID-related requirements are relaxing across the state, health officials caution that the virus is still present. To help limit community transmission, Oak Parkers are urged to get vaccinated and boosted; test at the sign of any symptom; quarantine and isolate when necessary; limit high-risk exposures and wear masks in crowded settings.

Vaccination clinics…The Oak Park Health Department hosts COVID-19 vaccine and testing clinics for anyone age 5 and older at various locations throughout the community. Visit www.oak-park.us/vaccine for a list of upcoming clinic dates. The vaccinations are free. Individuals may sign up for their primary vaccine series or for a booster dose if eligible. If coming for a booster dose, be sure to bring your vaccine card. To request a visit from the Health Department’s mobile response van, visit www.oak-park.us/mobilevanrequest or email covid19vaccines@oak-park.us.

Free at-home testing kits…Every home in the U.S. is eligible to order four free at-home COVID-19 tests from the federal government. Orders made at www.covidtests.gov ship in seven to 12 days. Residents who live in multi-family buildings should include their unit or apartment number in the address line so the system recognizes the address as being different from other units in the building.

Vaccination verification…Illinois residents may download their vaccine record at idphportal.illinois.gov for easy access on the go. Vax Verify is available. To protect confidential health information, a brief, one-time identity verification process is required to gain access to one’s immunization history.
