The Chicago Department of Public Health will begin offering COVID-19 vaccine booster shots at pop-up clinics and events starting Monday. Those eligible for the booster shot include people over 65 and all adults who live in long-term care settings, have underlying medical conditions or “live in high-risk settings.” The full calendar of mobile and pop-up vaccination events is available online. 

The Chicago Department of Business Affairs and Consumer Protection on Friday rolled out a new $20 million grant program for “small business and nonprofit relief,” as well as a new $2 million “Outdoor Dining Grant Program to provide for grants to support equipment for outdoor dining.” The programs will offer grants of $5,000 to $10,000 each. The department will host five “informational webinars” on the grant program this week, and the deadline to apply is Nov. 12. More information on the program is available online.
