The federal government is promising 100,000 COVID-19 vaccine shots a day in mid-March and the state s dose total surpassed 3 million Wednesday, but it s still a survival-of-the-luckiest scenario for thousands of Illinoisans currently seeking inoculations.
Warrenville resident Charlie Sikaras, 67, is among 3.2 million Illinoisans age 65 and older, plus essential workers such as teachers under Phase 1B, who are eligible for a vaccine.
As of today, I have been unable to secure an appointment, Sikaras said. . I am registered with the DuPage County Health Department, two hospital networks and frequently check pharmacy websites. I understand that current supplies are limited and also recognize the need for me to have patience. Also, other people might have greater health issues than I do.
