Chicago‘s public health commissioner doesn’t expect to have enough COVID-19 vaccines for the entire public right away. Dr. Allison Arwady told CNN yesterday that the city will start by providing vaccines for health care workers and people in long-term care facilities at the start.
Arwady also recommends that Chicagoans cancel a traditional Thanksgiving. Mayor Lightfoot echoed Arwady at an unrelated news conference, saying a mass-produced vaccine won’t be available until sometime deep into next year.
