ILLINOIS Waiting for the coronavirus vaccine isn t the hardest part it s not even being able to get in line. With demand far outpacing supply, the rollout has been slow-going in Illinois and across the country, and winter weather has further delayed shipments, leaving many frustrated as they try to sign up for the life-saving shot.
On top of the delays, the rules keep changing. Earlier this month, Gov. J.B. Pritzker announced plans to expand eligibility to those under 65 with other risk factors, such as cancer, heart disease or diabetes. The new rules were supposed to take effect Feb. 25, but many local health departments quickly reversed course, opting out of following the state s guidance due to vaccine shortages.

The Latest on winter weather across the U.S. (all times local):
KANSAS CITY, Mo. The snow, ice and bitter cold gripping Missouri has delayed people from coronavirus vaccinations, including those who signed up for mass inoculation events that had been scheduled for this week.
The governor’s office said it was trying to reschedule the National Guard-run events, but that registrants should seek vaccinations elsewhere in the meantime. Gov. Mike Parson also said the conditions would likely delay some vaccine shipments.
The cancellations follow a storm that dumped several inches of snow in much of the state and sent temperatures plunging below zero, including in Kansas City, where it was 9 degrees below zero on Tuesday, a new record for the date.
