Illinois COVID Update Today: IL reports 1,700 new coronavirus cases, 55 deaths and record-high vaccines, record-low test positivity

CHICAGO (WLS) -- Illinois Department of Public Health officials reported 1,700 new confirmed and probable cases of COVID-19 and 55 deaths on Thursday.
The state's test positivity hit another new record low for a second straight day, falling to 2.5%. The state also set another vaccine record Thursday, reaching it's highest-ever 7-day vaccination average.
Officials said they are targeting 30 suburban Cook County communities for some of the remaining United Center appointments. We're told that list is still being compiled, but we have a sense of where many of those areas might be.
Officials said Thursday the the appointments will be prioritized for areas with high infection rates and low vaccine uptake, determined, in part, by the county's COVID-19 Community Vulnerability Index.
