A lack of local vaccine supply means it may take up to 12 weeks to vaccinate the 125,000 Kane County residents local health department officials estimate are in the Phase 1B priority category.
However, even people who can get shots now continue to show a reluctance to get them, county officials said Wednesday.
Board member Jarett Sanchez, who chairs the committee that oversees the local health department, told fellow board members that about 50% of the municipal police officers refused the vaccine when it was offered to them as part of the opening of Phase 1B. He added quite a few detainees at the county jail, which has seen multiple outbreaks, also have refused it.

It took almost eight months of squabbling and rejiggering programs, but when Kane County officials put up new calendars, they expect to have spent all $93 million in federal CARES Act funds.
Jarett Sanchez, the county board member now leading the committee overseeing the funds, said the final weeks in which elected officials opened the books to the second round of small business grants made a major difference in getting the cash out the door.
We had to close the applications last week, Sanchez said. It s going to be false hope at some point, and we already know we are going to be oversubscribed. Right now, county staff is full speed ahead on sending the final agreements out to get them signed.
