The omicron booster is expected to target COVID subvariants.
Arwady said there will be plenty of supply.
Next week, 90 retail pharmacies, 25 healthcare facilities and some city sites will get the doses first. "I worry a lot that people may say 'oh I'm just gonna wait,' and then by the time they decide to get it, either we'll already be in a surge and it'll be too late to get the extra protection, or worse they will have missed the window for really good protection and the virus may have mutated further," Arwady said.Booster rates nationwide and in Chicago remain low. The city will combine its fall flu campaign with the new booster.
