Chicago and area counties will not expand 1B eligibility
Chicaog and the collar counties said the shortage vaccine supply means they will not be adding the new groups that fall into expanded 1B vaccination eligibility.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, along with the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, certain groups like health care personnel and other frontline essential workers should be offered vaccination during the first months of vaccine rollout. People who are pregnant and part of a group recommended to receive the COVID-19 vaccine may choose to be vaccinated, the agency stated. If they have questions about getting vaccinated, a discussion with a healthcare provider might help them make an informed decision. Based on how mRNA vaccines work, experts believe they are unlikely to pose a specific risk for people who are pregnant, the CDC stated. However, the actual risks of mRNA vaccines to the pregnant person and her fetus are unknown because these vaccines have not been studied in pregnant women.

ALBANY, N.Y., Feb. 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ The escalating geriatric population coupled with the growing incidences of chronic conditions is expected to generate extensive growth prospects across the assessment period of 2019-2027. The heightening popularity of non-invasive ventilators to eliminate the fear of lung injury may further bring tremendous growth opportunities for the non-invasive ventilators market.
A ventilator is a life-supporting system used for inhaling oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide from the body. Non-invasive ventilators date their origins back to the 20
th century. In the initial years, these ventilators were used extensively for treating patients with acute respiratory failure. Over the last decade, the use of non-invasive ventilators has increased exponentially and is gaining immense popularity. Thus, these aspects have influenced the growth of the non-invasive ventilators market to a great extent.
