PLAINFIELD, IL — The shipment of coronavirus vaccines received by Will County is not sufficient, according to County Executive Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant.

Currently, the health department is working to schedule approximately 100,000 residents over the age of 65 for their first and second doses of the life-saving vaccine and with consistently limited supply deliveries, many residents are scared and frustrated with the delay in receiving the vaccines.
