WATCH: More than 500 National Guard members helping to vaccinate people
The Illinois National Guard commander said more than 500 National Guard members are part of the mission to vaccinate people in the state and that number is expected to grow in the coming weeks.
Major-General Richard Neely called it a unique position, but one that the Guard is ready to deal with.
“We are using our military skill set to support the community and therefore we will continue to bring in the Guard’s ability to enter earlier,” said Major-General Neely.
Major-General Neely said that as soon as commercial companies and other state contracts manage to catch up, they will take over the vaccines.
