It looks like Illinois’ supply of COVID-19 vaccine expected in coming weeks is being cut in half.
Governor JB Pritzker says they were originally told that 8-million doses of the Pfizer vaccine would be shipped out across the country next week.
“Disappointed to learn that the US Department of Health and Human Services informed us that per the direction of Operation Warp Speed, that estimate was tightened significantly down to 4.3-million doses shipped nationally next week.”
The Governor says the shipment for the following week has also been reduced by about 50% and notes this will not affect the distribution of doses received this week.
