Peoria, Illinois-based OSF HealthCare wants to change that.
Through a nearly $75,000 grant available through its Jump ARCHES program, and nearly $30,000 in state grant funding through the Illinois Innovation Network, OSF Innovation and partners are using artificial intelligence (AI) tools to design, develop and deploy a mobile child vaccination program for underserved communities in Illinois.

PEORIA While many drugs have special storage requirements, Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine is particularly challenging.
With a storage temperature of as low as minus 90 degrees Celsius, or minus 158 degrees Fahrenheit, the vaccine is forcing major purchases ultra-cold freezers that typically cost between $10,000 and $15,000.
Both hospital systems in central Illinois acquired the ultra-cold freezers months ago in an effort to be prepared when the vaccine began arriving.
Area health departments have also made plans for vaccine storage. Peoria County will rely on the freezer at OSF HealthCare Saint Francis Medical Center, while Tazewell County has purchased a 3 cubic foot unit. Woodford County is also working to get a unit, with hopes that it will arrive in January, said spokeswoman Andrea Ingwersen.
