Getting Vaccinated
Loyola Medicine is currently vaccinating patients in phases 1a, 1b and 1c. Vaccine supply is extremely limited at this time. It will take time to vaccinate those who are eligible.
When can I get the vaccine?
Supplies are based upon when the state delivers vaccines to Loyola and other vaccine centers. Eligibility is determined by the prioritization outlined below.
