While Barrington stands ready to assist and host a large-scale vaccine distribution center if/when needed, neither Cook or Lake County has scheduled one for this area yet.
The FDA has granted Emergency Use Authorization of the Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccines. Since mid-December 2020, vaccinations for COVID-19 in suburban Cook and Lake Counties, including Barrington, were being rolled out in phases by the respective health departments based on national guidance.
