This also includes information about our first Illinois National Oversee the Mass Vaccination Site, which will open tomorrow at the Tinley Park Convention Center, and will be updated as more state-run locations and hundreds of additional local options become available, as federal supply is currently limited and every state in the country is facing a shortage, encourage all citizens of Illinois to come back regularly to see if there are available times – and in the meantime, disguise yourself, keep your distance, wash your hands and remember that we will stay healthy And safe if we take care of each other.
