Vaccines have been procured by the federal government and are allocated to the states. Reminders about vaccine supplyĪs a reminder, Northwestern University does not currently have direct access to the vaccine supply.
More information about phase 1c will follow as we learn more. We currently believe that higher education faculty and staff are broadly targeted for inclusion in phase 1c, though we are waiting for confirmation by the State. So far, public health departments remain focused on vaccinating the initial 1b populations and haven’t broadly extended access beyond those groups. You may have seen an announcement from the State about including those with certain medical conditions in phase 1b. We expect more members of our community to be vaccinated in the coming weeks. The University has identified those who are eligible to receive the vaccine in 1b, and has recently confirmed those categories of individuals with public health. Most healthcare workers or those working in clinical setting were vaccinated in phase 1a.Ī number of students, faculty and staff already have been vaccinated because of their age or because they work in healthcare settings. Some frontline essential workers have been vaccinated, though much of the focus on frontline essential workers will begin in the coming weeks after those 65 and older have had the opportunity to receive a vaccine. Right now, most of the State’s efforts continue to be focused on those over the age of 65. Illinois remains in phase 1b of its vaccination plan. Phases 1a, 1b and 1c of the Illinois plan Although the vaccine picture continues to evolve and certain aspects remain unclear, we have some additional information to share.
