Wednesday Illinois Governor JB Pritzker expanded the '1B' population guidance for COVID vaccinations. 

The guidance now includes anyone with underlying health conditions regardless of age or profession. DeWitt/Piatt Bi-County Health Department Director Dave Remmert tells Regional Radio News this will mean more people can now sign up locally to get the vaccine.

According to Remmert, the vaccination clinics that rotate between DeWitt and Piatt County each day have been going very smoothly. He credits his staff for creating a good system and the public for adjusting to the online registration for those clinics.

Signup links are available for both Piatt County and DeWitt County.
