One of the worst distribution rates in the nation and a mismatch of assisted living facility residents vaccination rates compared to the general public are just a few of the recent criticisms coming from State Senator Chapin Rose to Governor JB Pritzker.

According to Sen. Rose, Illinois ranks 37th out of 50 in vaccine distribution and points out the most vulnerable population to COVID is woefully behind in getting vaccinated. He says things need to change and they need to change quickly.

Sen. Rose is calling on Gov. Pritzker to follow the model Florida is using in getting people vaccinated. He says at the end of the day he doesn't care who is to blame, he just wants the situation fixed.

Gov. Pritzker last week, according to Sen. Rose, acknowledged there was a problem, no the Mahomet Republican is calling for the Governor to get it fixed.

Sen. Rose says there are a lot of things that could have been taken care of already in preparation for the vaccine arriving around six weeks ago. He points out issues like certifications of medical staff to deliver the vaccine and no universal consents. Sen. Rose believes the top priority should be finishing off the '1A' populations.
