Hill said when 600-doses were available in mid-January, they were already allocated within four minutes.
When 175- more doses became available, they were gone in two minutes. You ve heard us say it time and time again, the limited vaccine supply has been the most single difficult factor in scheduling clinics for priority groups.
Nationwide, more than 22-million vaccines have been given by the end of January.
Government data from the first month of COVID-19 vaccinations finds the shots are as safe as the studies suggested they d be.
But there are plenty of people who have their doubts. I know there s vaccine hesitation among a number of people but we re going to continue working on that, said Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker.
