Hello,
I am totally editing my response resulting from all the calls I have made this morning trying to find out where I can get my child vaccinated. If you are in the city of Chicago they are offering the H1N1 vaccine at select city colleges. (Kennedy King, Daley, Truman, Wright, Harvey,a few others---not Harold Washington) It is free and for anyone over 6 months of age. It is the shot form. It will be offered first come first serve this Saturday (10/24 9am-2p) also some of the colleges will offer it the following Tuesday and Thursday in the evening hours. Call 311 for more info about that. They do not have the seasonal flu vaccine. If you are in Chicago and want the seasonal vaccine, 311 instructs you to contact your local doctor. My current ped does not have any seasonal flu vaccines. He does have the H1N1 in a nasal form. I contacted minute clinic and they have no seasonal flu vaccines in the city of chicago at this time. You might try their number to find if they have any seasonal vaccines in the suburbs.(it would be the shot form) They only have the H1N1 vaccine available in four states: Florida, Virginia, Kansas, and Indiana (the Indianapolis area).
This link is for the suburban cook county area. I contacted them and they can direct you somewhere if you live in the suburbs of cook county, not the city. They are vaccinating school age kids through the schools. call the hotline for more info in that area.

My husband works for a private university and is able to get vaccinated there. Maybe check through you or your spouses employer if thats an option. It does seem as though there is a bit of a hold up on getting the vaccines produced and distributed to the public. I would imagine most of this will be solved in the next couple weeks, but once you recieve the vaccine it still takes a couple weeks to build up immunity, so the sooner the better!
