State directs excess vaccine to those eligible in Phase 1B
Canton Daily Ledger
SPRINGFIELD In order to increase the limited supply of vaccine to eligible recipients, the State of Illinois is working with Walgreens and CVS pharmacies to temporarily redirect approximately 97,000 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) vaccine doses that have not yet been used for the federal Pharmacy Partnership Program to providers across the state.
After this transfer, approximately 110,000 doses will still remain available for the federal effort to vaccinate long term care residents; the federal program is administering approximately 36,000 doses per week. IDPH will continue to closely monitor the program and additional doses will be directed to the program if needed or if the rate of vaccination accelerates.
The Wayne County Health Department will hold another drive-through vaccination clinic tomorrow, beginning at 9 a.m. People should go to the staging area at the Wayne County Fairgrounds by using the east entrance to the property on West Main Street. People will then be directed by staff when it is their turn to go to the health department for the vaccine. As with previous clinics in the county, there is no reservation list, and the clinic will be conducted in a first-come, first-serve manner.
