Dear Neighbors –
I will be co-hosting a public town hall with several county and state officials to discuss the availability and sign-up processes for district residents to secure Covid-19 vaccines. We will listen to your concerns and answer your questions about the vaccine rollout.
- To register please click here or go to: bit.ly/ccvaccinetownhall
- Please email questions in advance to: anewman@suffredin.org
With the initial distribution to frontline healthcare and first responders in Phase 1A substantially complete, Illinois is building capacity to vaccinate over 3.2 million residents eligible for Phase 1B. While federal vaccine shipments to states have limited supply, we are working hard to build out provider capacity to ensure more rapid distribution once more vaccines become available. This town hall will bring you the latest information and offer a chance to get your most urgent questions answered.
Representative Jennifer Gong-Gershowitz
