As the state readies to expand COVID-19 immunization next week, Kane County already has begun giving the vaccination to some essential workers in so-called Phase 1b.
Elsewhere, doctors offices and medical providers were cited as a likely route toward getting vaccinated for people in Phase 1b, which includes anyone 65 and older and essential workers, meaning those who can t work at home or who must work closely with others. First responders, teachers, transit workers, manufacturing employees, prison workers and inmates, postal workers, grocery store workers, and shelter and day care staff members are among those in this group.
NorthShore University Health System, whose sites include Northwest Community Hospital in Arlington Heights and Glenbrook Hospital in Glenview, announced Thursday it will communicate with patients age 65 and older by email next week with steps to prepare to receive the vaccine as we get doses.
