Vaccine shortage
Posted: Mon Dec 11, 2023 5:30 pm
From the Peoria City/County Health Department:
2/12/21 - The allocation of vaccine from the Illinois Department of Public Health to our local health departments has been reduced for the next two weeks. The reduction in vaccine shipment reduces the number of appointments available to schedule. Persons in Phase 1A (ages 65+) and 1B (frontline essential workers) continue to be vaccinated.
The tri-county area will not move to vaccinate the 1B expansion group (those younger than 65 with comorbidities) on February 25 as announced by the governor because of the expected reduced vaccine shipments. When we are confident in a consistent supply, our tri-county health departments and community partners will announce appointments for those in the 1B expansion population.
