Press release excerpt…
To further expand convenient opportunities for Illinoisans to get vaccinated, Governor JB Pritzker launched a new program today that offers building workers and returning office staff a chance to get their shot at work.
“Having vaccine available where you work makes getting vaccinated very convenient,” said Governor JB Pritzker. “SEIU and other area unions, local businesses, and the building managers have worked hand in hand with IDPH to make this as easy as possible. It’s exciting to see traffic in commercial districts across Illinois begin to pick up after a long year apart – an achievement only possible because of the life-saving protection of vaccines and the consequent reduction of cases and hospital admissions. More vaccinations will mean more of a return to normal for everyone.”

Major commercial buildings, including an office building in Schaumburg, soon will have COVID-19 vaccination teams on site to offer free inoculations to workers and others in the area.
Gov. J.B. Pritzker announced that many of these vaccination teams will start later this week and early next week through a partnership with Walgreens.
So far, 10 locations have been selected seven in Chicago, two in Rockford and one near Woodfield Mall at the headquarters of the American Society of Anesthesiologists, 1061 American Lane, Schaumburg.
Vaccines will be available for anyone, and walk-ins are being encouraged.
Specific dates and times will be publicized to maximize vaccination opportunities, state health officials said. Most sites will stage clinics at shift changes so more workers can take advantage of the option.

Illinois’ economy was humming along last winter, a few years removed from the state’s two-year budget impasse in which Illinois’ unpaid bill backlog climbed to nearly $17 billion, and finally experiencing the kind of growth that had eluded the state for years after the Great Recession.
But then COVID-19 hit. Gov. JB Pritzker ordered bars and restaurants closed a few days after the World Health Organization declared the virus a global pandemic, and then a broader stay-at-home order from the governor a week later shuttered dozens of other types of businesses throughout the state.
