Dr. Shikha Jain from UI Health joins Good Day Chicago to talk us through the latest headlines coming from the coronavirus pandemic.

Starting on Monday, the City of Chicago will offer free at-home vaccinations for children as young as 5.

The city also launched family vaccination clinics over the weekend for everyone 5-years-old and up.

The Pfizer shot is currently the only COVID-19 vaccine approved for young children.

Chicago's goal is to vaccinate 77% of the population before the end of the year. As of Nov. 12, about 76% of Chicagoans ages 12 and up have received at least one dose.
