Health department announces mass vaccination clinics at College of DuPage, Downers Grove South High School


The DuPage County Health Department is working in collaboration with College of DuPage and the Village of Downers Grove to offer two appointment-only H1N1 vaccination clinics. The first clinic will be held at College of DuPage on Saturday, Dec. 12. The second clinic will be held the following day, Sunday, Dec. 13, at Downers Grove South High School.

To make an appointment please call 1 (866) 311-1123. The H1N1 appointment hotline is making appointments 24 hours a day, seven days per week. Due to high call volume, you may get a busy signal. If you do, please try calling again. We encourage you to try calling during off, or non-peak hours. Please be advised that walk-ins will NOT be accepted. The vaccinations are free.

DuPage County H1N1 vaccination clinics are specifically for people in high priority target groups, including:

  • Pregnant women
  • People who live with or care for infants younger than 6 months of age
  • Health care and emergency medical personnel
  • Anyone from 6 months through 24 years of age
  • Anyone from 25 through 64 years of age with certain chronic medical conditions or a weakened immune system

The DuPage County Health Department's goal is to distribute H1N1 vaccine as quickly as possible to reduce and prevent disease activity. Collaborating with College of DuPage and the Village of Downers Grove will allow the Health Department to expand our appointment schedule and provide greater access for DuPage County residents to the H1N1 vaccine.

  • College of DuPage is located at 425 Fawell Boulevard, Glen Ellyn.
  • Downers Grove South High School is located at 1436 Norfolk St., Downers Grove.
