That may change, however, as Illinois expects an influx of vaccine supplies in the coming days.
According to Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, doses of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine are expected to increase very “soon”.
“We hope to see a significant number, millions of doses of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine coming soon in the next few days,” said the governor during an unrelated news conference on Friday. “And then, hopefully, a sustained increase at Johnson & Johnson, as well as we continue to see an increase at Pfizer and Moderna.”
