Chicago Department of Public Health Comm. Allison Arwady addresses aldermen Monday.

Chicagoans can look forward to the time-held tradition of residential block parties again this summer while city health officials plan to shift vaccination efforts to a more neighborhood-based effort during the coming months.

"I fully expect that block parties will be back this summer," Chicago Department of Public Health Comm. Allison Arwady told aldermen Monday, though she said the popular neighborhood events will likely come back "more in the sort of middle of the summer and on."
