The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) is issuing updated guidance on Friday to help people celebrate fall more safely as we continue to battle COVID-19.
“Although we’re still in the pandemic, this Halloween and fall festivities season will look a little different than last year thanks to the safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines that are readily available,” IDPH Director Dr. Ngozi Ezike said. “However, we must still take precautions as not everyone is vaccinated and a vaccine for children younger than 12 year is not yet available. Getting vaccinated is the best way to protect yourself . . .
