National COVID-19 Emergency Ends in May 2023

On February 10, 2023, The White House made a statement anticipating the end of the national emergency concerning COVID-19 on May 11, 2023. While COVID-19 is still present, our nation has worked to respond in such a manner that allows us to function without a national emergency declaration.

While the national emergency was in effect, the federal government provided COVID-19 vaccines without a cost. Once the national emergency declaration ends on May 11, the federal government will no longer cover the cost of COVID-19 vaccines. While the cost of the COVID-19 vaccine is not yet confirmed, it could be as much as $130 per dose. Please schedule your COVID-19 vaccination now on the Village of Skokie website while it is still available for no cost.
