When Gov. JB Pritzker observes COVID-19 vaccines administered at a Peoria hospital on Tuesday morning, he’ll be witnessing among the first COVID-19 inoculations in Illinois after the state received its first shipment of the COVID-19 vaccine made by Pfizer-BioNTech.
The state received 48,000 doses of the vaccine on Monday — about half what the state is expecting this week.
Pritzker on Monday said the vaccines’ arrival marked “the beginning of the end of the pandemic,” though it will be many months before all Illinoisans who want a COVID-19 vaccine are able to get one.
