CHICAGO (WLS) With COVID-19 vaccines in such short supply, the I-Team investigated what public health authorities are doing to make sure nothing goes to waste and the precious commodities end up in people s arms instead of the trash.
Illinois public health officials said as of February 10, 526 COVID-19 vaccine doses have gone to waste so far statewide. That s less than 1 percent of all vaccines administered statewide.
Sometimes the waste is caused by a broken vial or syringe. In other cases, vaccines have been drawn but not administered, or vials have been opened and they ve been unable to administer all the doses inside.
Speeding drivers I FEEL the time has come to raise the subject of the total disregard of the speed limit on the A684, particularly through Harmby towards Leyburn. Since I moved here two years ago I have become aware of how many vehicles ignore the speed limit, which is 40mph at Harmby reducing to 30mph going towards Leyburn. I witness, on a daily basis, the many HGVs of all sizes, which are in a large part, from local companies hurtling along this stretch of road. Local agricultural vehicles are also guilty, as are car drivers and motorbikes. The section of road around the Pheasant public house, at the top of Harmby Bank, narrows down quite substantially and I feel it will only be a matter of time before a serious accident happens.
