Hospital Resumes COVID-19 Vaccinations After Stoppage
Injections at Advocate Condell Medical Center were paused on Friday night.
“Following a thorough internal review including infectious disease and clinical experts across our system,” the vaccinations resumed Sunday, a spokesperson for Advocate Aurora Health, which runs the hospital, told The Epoch Times in an emailed statement.
One of the four cases is believed to have been a severe allergic reaction.
“That person was treated, observed in the hospital overnight, and received additional treatment, and has since been discharged home and is doing well,” Dr. Robert Citronberg, executive medical director of Infectious Disease and Prevention for Advocate, told reporters in a virtual briefing on Saturday.
