And instead of eating into the current supplies of vaccines allotted to the state and the city, the mass vaccination site will bring in additional doses, above and beyond the regular allocations. The United Center mass vaccination site will be open to appointments for anyone in Illinois who currently qualifies for the vaccine. The site will be open seven days a week and will be able to administer up to 6,000 shots per day, dependent on the available supply. Pritzker joined Mayor Lori Lightfoot and a variety of city and state officials to announce that the parking lots surrounding the United Center will become Chicago's first mass vaccination site, beginning on March 10. If you qualify for a COVID-19 vaccine, you may be able to get your shot just outside of the home of the Chicago Bulls and Blackhawks in the coming weeks. Appointments can be made through Zocdoc or by calling the city's multi-lingual hotline at 31. UPDATE (March 2): Mayor Lori Lightfoot announced that all Illinois residents ages 65 and up will be able to begin registering for vaccine appointments at the United Center on Thursday, March 4 at 8:30am.
