CHAMPAIGN â While Champaign County was poised to receive its third COVID-19 vaccine shipment soon, Vermilion County had yet to receive a single dose.
âOur understanding is if we did not have it by the 24th, it would have been here yesterday,â Doug Toole, administrator of the Vermilion County Health Department, said Tuesday of that countyâs first vaccine shipment.
As of Tuesday afternoon: Still no vaccine in Vermilion County, he said.
With health care personnel first in line statewide for COVID-19 vaccinations, neither of Vermilion Countyâs hospitals â OSF Sacred Heart Medical Center and Carle Hoopeston Regional Health Center â had received vaccines for its staff members.
