Ashlee Rezin Garcia/Sun-Times COVID-19 vaccine providers will open 150,000 appointments across the Chicago suburbs next week when eligibility expands to all Illinois residents 16 or older, Gov. J.B. Pritzker announced Thursday. Chicago residents can snap up some of those suburban slots since the city won’t make adult vaccine eligibility universal until April 19 and they’re “absolutely” encouraged to do so, as the entire state faces a third coronavirus surge, Pritzker said. “We now need to get as many shots into arms as quickly as we possibly can,” the governor said at a west suburban Forest Park mass vaccination site. “We’re reserving some vaccine to make sure we’re targeting particularly vulnerable groups that aren’t fully vaccinated yet, but right now we just want people to show up and get vaccinated as soon as possible.
