“Even as we’re getting more and more vaccine doses, we cannot let
our guard down, especially with these virulent new strains
circulating,” said IDPH Director Dr. Ngozi Ezike. “We’ve come so far
and are so close to a more normal time, but we’re already seeing
some concerning plateaus and even increases in hospitalizations and
cases. We’re not out of the woods yet so continue to wear your
masks, avoid large crowds, and keep six feet of distance.”

A total of doses of 5,796,305 vaccine have been
delivered to providers in Illinois, including Chicago. In addition,
approximately 414,900 doses total have been allocated to the federal
government’s Pharmacy Partnership Program for long-term care
facilities. This brings the total Illinois doses to 6,211,205. A
total of 4,818,097 vaccines have been administered in Illinois as of
last midnight, including 363,235 for long-term care facilities. The
seven-day rolling average of vaccines administered daily is 91,000
doses. Yesterday, 70,252 doses were reported administered in
Illinois.
IDPH is working with the federal government on discrepancies in some
of the vaccine administration data. The result of the discrepancy
could be that the number of doses actually administered at this time
may be underreported. IDPH will update the data as soon as the
discrepancy is resolved.
