The Business Vax Self-Certification requires completing a questionnaire to showing commitment to protecting Chicago by requiring proof of vaccination from patrons and employees. If your business qualifies for self-certification, you will be able to post your self-certification badge in a prominent location at your place of work and on social media to show your support!
