The total number of COVID-19 vaccine doses for
Illinois is 11,802,395. A total of 9,410,057 vaccines have been
administered in Illinois as of last midnight. The seven-day rolling
average of vaccines administered daily is 78,440 doses. Yesterday,
16,920 doses were reported administered in Illinois. Data from this
weekend from several pharmacies (Walgreens, Albertsons, CVS) is not
yet available so the doses administered yesterday are likely to be
low. The missing doses from this weekend will be reflected in
numbers in the next couple days.
*All data are provisional and will change. In order to rapidly
report COVID-19 information to the public, data are being reported
in real-time. Information is constantly being entered into an
electronic system and the number of cases and deaths can change as
additional information is gathered. For health questions about
COVID-19, call the hotline at 1-800-889-3931 or email dph.sick@illinois.gov.
