Now, only Chicago residents are eligible to book COVID-19 vaccination shots at the United Center. On Monday, the new rules were put in place after less than 40% of the appointments made Sunday were procured by people not living in the city. After receiving the shot, people will have to wait 30 minutes to make sure there are no adverse side effects to the vaccine. Officials said people should plan on spending around 45 minutes at the site. About 110,000 appointments were booked as of Tuesday, according to officials. The United Center, the state’s largest vaccination site, is one of 18 community vaccination sites that are part of the federal plan to bring the vaccine to hard hit and high risk communities.
