Central Illinois Regional Airport (CIRA) now offers a customer service program designed to assist travelers and visitors with hidden disabilities while at the airport. As part of the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Program, CIRA joins other U.S. and global airports in a universal sunflower lanyard initiative that provides a discreet method of identification to those with disabilities not easily recognizable.
The Hidden Disabilities Program allows a person to self-identify as someone with a hidden disability who may require additional assistance without revealing the nature of the disability. By wearing the sunflower lanyard, trained airport staff will recognize the individual wearing the lanyard may need additional support, help, or more time during their travel experience.
PEORIA â In a historic moment, health care workers in Chicago and Peoria on Tuesday became the first groups in Illinois to receive a COVID-19 vaccine, marking what Illinois Department of Public Health Director Dr. Ngozi Ezike called âthe beginning of the endâ of the pandemic.
The vaccine, developed by the drug companies Pfizer and BioNTech, was granted Emergency Use Authorization by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration last week and is now being shipped throughout the United States. Early studies have shown that after two doses that are given 21 days apart, the vaccine is 95% effective in preventing the disease.
