The City of Chicago along with the rest of Cook County will not join the rest of the State of Illinois in expanding Phase 1B eligibility for the COVID-19 vaccine.

In a joint statement, Mayor Lori Lightfoot and Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle on Thursday said that because they are not being supplied with enough vaccine doses to vaccinate residents, Chicago and the county will not expand eligibility.

Expanding eligibility would add over a million additional people to Phase 1B, making it harder for senior citizens, frontline workers and those in “heavily COVID-burdened communities” to get vaccinated, the mayor said.

“We recognize the governor must make tough choices and consider needs across this diverse state, but given the limited supply of vaccine, we must also make the tough choices as the leaders of the most populous city and county in the state,” the statement said.
