Counties with Highest Death Rates Getting First COVID-19 Vaccine Doses

Illinois health officials say the first COVID-19 vaccine doses to reach the state will not go to every county.  Officials say the 50 counties with the highest per capita COVID-19 deaths will receive the first round of doses.  Some of the counties to receive the initial doses include Cass, Christian, Morgan, Macon, and Pike Counties.  Sangamon County, where the state’s capital of Springfield is located, is not on the initial list.
