GOVERNOR J-B PRITZKER SAYS HE'S HOPEFUL MORE PEOPLE WILL GET VACCINATED AGAINST COVID-19 NOW THAT THE F-D-A HAS APPROVED THE PFIZER SHOT. 

FORMAL FEDERAL APPROVAL MAY GIVE THOSE UNCERTAIN ABOUT THE SHOT A NUDGE SAYS THE GOVERNOR.

SOME HAVE BEEN HESITANT TO GET THE VACCINE SINCE IT HADN'T BEEN FORMALLY APPROVED YET. THAT'S CHANGED NOW SAYS GOVERNOR PRITZKER.

61 AND A HALF PERCENT OF THOSE 12 AND OLDER IN ILLINOIS ARE NOW FULLY VACCINATED IN ILLINOIS.
