The Illinois National Guard is set to be deployed to McHenry County to run a new mass vaccination site with additional doses provided by the state beyond the county s normal allocation, County Board Chairman Mike Buehler said Thursday.
The McHenry County Department of Health visited a potential site for this new vaccine clinic with members of the National Guard on Thursday, Public Health Administrator Melissa Adamson said in a meeting of county board members ahead of the visit.
We appreciate and welcome the governor s and [the Illinois Department of Public Health s] assistance in getting McHenry County more vaccine to our population that wants it and look forward to working with the National Guard, Buehler said in an interview Thursday afternoon.
