CHICAGO AREA, IL Health departments across the Chicago area will not vaccinate those with medical conditions under the age of 65, despite a recent recommendation by Gov. J.B. Pritzker to include the population in Phase 1b of the state s vaccination plan starting Thursday.
Instead, many local health departments are prioritizing getting second shots of the Moderna or Pfizer vaccines into arms, as well as first shots to front-line essential workers and those 65 years and older.
