Surgeon General: Illinois Numbers Moving in the Right Direction

Credit Blueroomstream.com The top public health official in the United States said Tuesday that the COVID-19 trends in Illinois are improving and he urged the public to get vaccinated as soon as the doses become available to them. “The numbers here in Illinois are moving in the right direction and we have a finish line in sight with these two vaccines,” U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams said during a news conference in Chicago. Adams was referring to the vaccines that were recently granted Emergency Use Authorization by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, one developed by the drug companies Pfizer and BioNTech, and another by Moderna. The state began distributing the Pfizer vaccine last week and expects to begin shipping the Moderna vaccine this week.

The state received the first 43,000 doses on Monday, which is separate from the federal shipment to Chicago, he said. “From there, distribution was made from our Illinois Strategic National Stockpile to hospitals across the state. Doses were delivered first to our Regional Hospital Coordinating Centers, and also direct to DuPage County, then on to 45 counties and local health departments, finally arriving at 77 hospitals, all across the state,” Pritzker said.

According to the governor, hospitals and health departments statewide had officially received their first full COVID-19 vaccine shipments as of Thursday. I’m pleased to say that all shipments arrived safely and securely at their destinations over the course of the last two days, Pritzker said in his daily coronavirus briefing at the time. Pritzker said that on Monday, the state of Illinois, aside from Chicago, received the first 43,000 doses of the vaccine, which is approximately half of the total allotment.
