SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) today reported 2,410 new confirmed and probable cases of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in Illinois, including 30 additional deaths.

Vaccinating younger adults, however, is the biggest goal for city officials moving forward. All those young adults are probably working or probably still have some doubts about getting vaccinated, said Dr. Hector Ocaranza, the city-county health authority for the El Paso Department of Public Health.
The city has been taking vaccinations to residents through pop-up vaccination clinics across the city during events such as the El Paso Artists and Farmers Market or at the unveiling of a new community center.
Incentives might be offered for vaccinations
Incentivizing people to get vaccinated, D Agostino said, also is an option being considered.
The race to vaccinate El Pasoans is taking on increased urgency as new COVID-19 strains are reported in the area. So far, two variants, the California and United Kingdom variants, have been identified in 11 people in El Paso, according to Angela Mora, the city s public health director.
