As the holidays approach, Dr. Allison Arwady says it's a great time to get a COVID booster
CHICAGO (CBS) -- Chicago's top doctor says as people get together this week, it's not too late to protect yourself.
"About 70% of Chicagoans have gotten their booster from a pharmacist," said Dr. Allison Arwady, Commissioner of the Chicago Department of Public Health. "I didn't even feel it. How about that?"
Arwady got the COVID-19 booster at a CVS in the West Lawn neighborhood.
She encouraged everyone to get boosted to protect themselves and their family against COVID. She noted all the numbers are down, thanks to the vaccine.
