							As a

							matters that affect the quality of our lives. The 
							most effective and least offensive manner to get 
							your point across is to stick to the issue 
							and refrain from commenting on another person's 
							opinion. Letters that deviate from focusing on the 
							issue may be rejected or edited and marked as such.

            |  To the editor: Recently I 
			booked an appointment for my first coronavirus vaccine shot March 
			13th in Springfield, Sangamon County. My friends tipped me to its 
			website, which filled appointment slots quickly. 
 Illinois has totally botched its coronavirus vaccine shot 
			administration. March 13th is 6 weeks hence. Zero appointments in 
			Logan County are available.
 
			 
			Monday morning, the day Illinois vaccine shots first became 
			available to Groups 1A and 1B, I phoned the Logan County Department 
			of Public Health at 735-2317.
 
            [to top of second column in this letter] | 
            
			 
            A gal rather rudely told me to go to its website or 
			its Facebook page, don’t call the Logan County Department of Public 
			Health again because it’s too bizzy to hassle with the public which 
			pays its publik wurkr salaries, its vaccine appointment website has 
			crashed, all appointments for the two February days, the 13th and 
			the 17th, are booked, she didn’t know when next appointments would 
			be available, Logan County only received 340 total vaccine doses, 
			don’t call back. 
 That’s “totally botched”.
