The Springfield area’s first mass-vaccination site to inoculate against COVID-19 opened Wednesday on the Illinois State Fairgrounds for people 65 and older and others in the state s high-priority groups.
Gov. JB Pritzker’s office confirmed to The State Journal-Register late Tuesday that the Illinois National Guard will work with the Sangamon County Department of Public Health to operate the appointment-only site inside the Orr Building on the fairgrounds for the foreseeable future.
Appointments for an initial 600 doses per day began Wednesday morning for people in the state’s 1A and 1B priority categories, which includes people 65 and older and people younger than 65 who serve as “essential workers” in places such as grocery stores and factories.
