CHICAGO — The United Center will switch to using the Johnson & Johnson vaccine for walk-in appointments come April 20.
The Johnson & Johnson vaccine requires only one shot, and there’s been high demand for that vaccine from residents, according to a Mayor’s Office news release. People can make appointments to get the shot at the site online or by calling 312-746-4835.
People must be at least 18 to get a shot at the United Center; otherwise, anyone of that age is eligible for a spot at the site. The vaccinations are free regardless of a person’s insurance.

The site’s drive-thru will continue to offer second-dose Pfizer shots to people who already got a first dose of that type at the United Center.
