Illinois received its first shipment of Pfizer s COVID-19 vaccine on Monday.
Governor J-B Pritzker says it s roughly half of the 86-thousand doses to be distributed outside the City of Chicago. At the recommendation of the CDC and medical professionals, a portion of our vaccine will be shipped directly from the manufacturer to four of our larger public health departments in Cook, Lake, Madison and St. Clair counties.
Pritzker says these four locations were chosen because of their ability to handle the ultra cold storage requirements of the Pfizer vaccine. He says shots will start to be given on Tuesday.
