Chicago Public Schools closed for Vaccination Awareness Day; clinics held across city

CHICAGO (WLS) -- Calling it an investment in the rest of the school year, city leaders hosted a special Vaccination Awareness Day for CPS students with clinics at a number of schools across the city.

Classes were cancelled Friday to facilitate that and city workers were given two hours of paid leave to get their kids vaccinated.

Earlier this week, Arwady said getting the shots this week will play a pivotal role in the weeks ahead.
"If we can get a lot of students vaccinated now, if we can got a lot of adults vaccinated and boosted ahead of the holidays, right now is the time to do that," Dr. Arwady said.

The Museum of Science and Industry and the Shedd Aquarium offered free admission Friday and Park District facilities also offered activities for kids to keep them busy.
