IDPH Reports County-Level Vaccine Inventory Data

[February 19, 2021]  The number of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) vaccination locations across Illinois continues to increase. A total of 41 new locations were added since January 26, 2021 for a current total of 310 locations open to the public. The new sites include 15 local health department sites, 17 Kroger sites in Central and Southern Illinois, six Mariano’s sites in Northern Illinois, and three Illinois National Guard supported sites in Cook and St. Clair counties. At this time, vaccinations are by appointment only and are extremely limited due to the limited amount of vaccine.

The Illinois Department of Public Health is also now reporting county-level vaccine inventory data on its website. The data include the number of doses allocated by county, along with the doses administered and the number of people who are fully vaccinated. Those data can be found here. Data will be updated once a week on Fridays based on information reported to IDPH by local health departments and providers.
