The Kane County Board Office and the Kane County Health Department will open a vaccination site at West Dundee’s Spring Hill Mall. The official name and location of the site is Kane-SpringHillMallVax Carpentersville, 1072 Spring Hill Mall, West Dundee.
The vaccination site will open from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Friday, May 7. The Kane County Board Office and Health Department are partners with with Jewel Osco to make 400 vaccination appointments available to the residents of Kane County. Residents can visit the www.kanevax.org site and click on the Kane-SpringHillMallVax (Carpentersville, IL) to register for an appointment.
“The addition of another KaneVax vaccination site, located in the Spring Hill Mall, will serve as the fourth regional vaccination site established by Kane County,” said County Board chairman Corinne Pierog. “The site will be a partnership with Jewel-Osco and serve the Carpentersville and West Dundee area of Northern Kane County. We are encouraging everyone 16 and older to sign up to be vaccinated. This new site, along with Kane County’s mass vaccination sites in Batavia, Aurora, and Elgin, makes obtaining vaccination accessible to everyone throughout the county.”
“To extend our reach further north in Kane County, we are pleased to add a vaccination site with yet again, important community collaboration,” said Kathy Fosser, interim executive director at the Kane County Health Department.
“I’m excited for the opening of this new site and the increased vaccine accessibility for the LatinX community in the Carpentersville/Dundee area,” said Jarett Sanchez, Chairman of the Kane County Public Health Committee. “All residents should feel at ease coming to our site, no matter what race, gender, or immigration status they might have. Our site is for the people.”
