FRANKFORT – In order to streamline Illinois vaccination process, State Senator Michael E. Hastings (D-Frankfort) joined colleagues to call for the implementation of a database that would support county health departments, preventing the waste of vaccines.
Hastings, along with several Senate colleagues, made this request of Governor JB Pritzker via a joint letter We know that our vaccine supply is not remotely close to adequate at the moment, Hastings said. This makes the distribution of every single dose available all the more critical. All we are seeking is further cooperation between the State and county health departments to implement a statewide database system dedicated to improving the distribution process.
