I don’t need it (we’re getting our vaccines through Northwestern Memorial), but I’ve thought this was the ideal from the beginning: it’s indoor, and has the best, easiest access by bus or train, plus ample parking for those with cars. Really accessible.

Plus, when it’s open, it’s going to be limited at first to any resident in the state over 65—I.e, it will be seniors only. 6,000 per day (a 40% increase). We still have 300,000 seniors in Cook County still to be vaccinated.

Superstar press conference going on right now: Governor Pritzger, Senators Durbin and Duckworth, Cook County President Preckwinkel (I love hearing from Toni), Mayor Lightfoot.

I am so happy!
