Vaccines are coming but who gets the first rounds has been answered. During Governor JB Pritzker’s press conference on Friday, the Governor highlighted some of the information about the two vaccines and what goes into them. The first one is from Pfizer.

The other vaccine is the Moderna vaccine. 

Governor Pritzker says the first vaccines will be distributed will be sent out to healthcare workers in counties that have a high death toll from COVID.

The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices or ACIP says that first line workers along with essential employees should have first priority. Governor Pritzker says that he understands that some people may have their doubts about this vaccine but says that the companies have been working on a vaccine like this for a while.

The Governor said in the question/answer session that he would be more than willing to take the vaccine if it meant more people would get it.
