Weather continues to cause vaccine delivery delays from the federal government. The state said it is in contact with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other federal agencies to understand the logistical challenges and if there is anything Illinois can do to expedite getting vaccine.

More snow today. I think in a lot of ways, especially the out-patient centers, are doing a lot of rescheduling over the next week or two.
