With around half of Illinois’ population eligible to be vaccinated for COVID-19, the report card for the state’s effort is mixed. Now in the second part of phase 1b, those older than 65 as well as people from a range of occupations — police officers to grocery store workers to some in manufacturing and more — are eligible to receive the vaccine. Access for people with high-risk conditions such as diabetes and lung disease just opened up this week. The city of Chicago, Skokie, and Cook, Lake, DuPage and Will counties’ health departments have said they do not plan to start vaccinating people under 65 with health conditions Thursday because of limited vaccine supplies.
