As Illinois nears 2 million COVID-19 vaccines administered despite weather-related delays, tensions rose among some suburban leaders over the scant supply of doses.
A total of 1,977,033 COVID-19 shots had been given as of Wednesday night, the Illinois Department of Public Health reported Thursday. And 73,091 of them were administered on Wednesday, a significant increase from the average of 40,199 inoculations Sunday through Tuesday.
The state s progress is something everyone in Illinois should be proud of, Gov. J.B. Pritzker said Thursday. That doesn t mean getting an appointment for a vaccine hasn t been a frustrating experience, he added.
The frustration apparently led DuPage County Chairman Dan Cronin to convene a media briefing with the chairmen of Kane, Lake, McHenry and Will counties Thursday to discuss inadequate allocations of doses from the state health department only to cancel it at the last minute.
