Hi Dan,

Below are the resources I learned about this week from the health department during a town hall meeting sponsored by the Mayor's Office for People with Disabilities.

Protect Chicago At Home
Call (312) 746-4835 to make an appointment

In-home vaccination is now available to everyone 65 and older, as well as anyone age 12 and older living with a disability in Chicago. Chicagoans who meet these criteria can call (312) 746-4835 to schedule an appointment for in-home vaccination. Family members and caretakers can also be vaccinated at the same time as a qualifying at-home person. In-home vaccination offers a choice between the Pfizer (12 and older) and Johnson & Johnson (18 and older) vaccines.
Individuals living outside of the City of Chicago are not eligible for this program. 

for vaccine appointments outside of Chicago. While we know everyone does not have the resources to travel, for those who do, please consider these alternative options.

Indiana
Anyone age 16+ from Chicago can be vaccinated in Indiana, regardless of residence, following a recent change in eligibility in Indiana. To register in Indiana, go to the Indiana Department of Public Health website
 or call 866-211-9966 if you do not have access to a computer or need assistance.

Learn more at Chicago.gov/COVIDVax
There is supposed to be a form at this web site to request a mobile unit to go to an event to provide vaccine shots if the event will have 40 or more people attend that need vaccines.  I could not find the form, but maybe I was not looking for the right thing.
