The reason behind the booster push: only 38% of people in Chicago are fully vaccinated and boosted.
The new shot protects you against the oldest and latest coronavirus strains and just like COVID vaccines in the past, this booster will be free.
Millions of these vaccines are in the process of getting shipped across the country.
But for immunocompromised and those age 50 and older, experts say don't wait for their second booster shot.
Two vaccine clinics are taking place to protect people against both COVID-19 and monkeypox.
"Our MPV vaccine supply continues to increase, and we are pleased to be opening up larger clinics to serve even more Chicagoans, while still working to vaccinate those at highest risk to help stop the spread."
The company says it'll give U.S. regulators the data soon. Moderna is already seeking U.S. clearance to vaccinate kids 5 and under.
The reason is a rare, but serious risk of blood clots.
Cook County Health is among the first health systems in the country to achieve this goal.
