MILAN, Illinois — Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker ordered thousands of National Guard soldiers and airmen to assist at mass COVID-19 vaccination sites across the state, including one at Camden Centre in Milan that opened Tuesday.
"This is the first time really we’ve used it for something as wonderful as this," Milan Mayor Duane Dawson said of the multipurpose building, which in other years was used to host weddings, dances and other parties.
