GOVERNOR J-B PRITZKER SAYS HE EXPECTS COVID-19 VACCINE SHIPMENTS TO RAMP UP IN COMING WEEKS. 

THE GOVERNOR SAYS ILLINOIS HASN'T RECEIVED NEARLY AS MANY DOSES AS HE'D LIKE...BUT THAT HE GOT SOME GOOD NEWS THIS WEEK.

ADDITIONALLY, GOVERNOR PRITZKER SAYS THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS COMMITTING TO MINIMUM DOSE AMOUNTS SET EVERY THREE WEEKS SO THAT STATES CAN BETTER PLAN HOW MANY VACCINATION APPOINTMENTS CAN BE OFFERED. THE GOVERNOR SAYS IN THE PAST, THEY WOULDN'T KNOW HOW MANY DOSES WERE ARRIVING UNTIL JUST A FEW DAYS AHEAD OF TIME.

GOVERNOR PRITZKER URGES THOSE THAT FALL INTO THE "1-B" CATEGORY TO VISIT: CORONAVIRUS DOT ILLINOIS DOT GOV TO FIND NEARBY VACCINATION SITES.
