SPRINGFIELD – The Pritzker administration is trying to lower the expectations of any Illinoisan who believes he or she will get the coronavirus vaccine super fast.
“Regardless of how many doses we do receive,” said public health director Dr. Ngozi Ezike, “IDPH will be tracking shipments, allocations, and the data to detect any disparities in administration. Allocation of these vaccines will be sent initially to the fifty counties that have the highest death rate per capita.”
McLean county is not one of those fifty.
The state Friday reported 10,526 new coronavirus cases and another 148 deaths.
