  1. Thursday - 58,357 doses
    Wednesday - 55,865 doses
    Tuesday - 53,628 doses

    Other large states for comparison:
    Texas 65K/day
    Florida 75K/day
    Pennsylvania 35/Day
    Michigan 35-40K/Day

    Trending in the right direction. Like a car spinning its tires before it grabs, hopefully we stay on the gas and keep growing.

  2. “… approximately 496,100 doses total have been allocated to the federal government’s Pharmacy Partnership Program for long-term care facilities. … IDPH is currently reporting a total of 887,845 vaccines administered, including 131,401 for long-term care facilities. …”

    So the Fed. Pharmacy program has administered 26.5% of the doses they have. Since that is a two dose treatment, they have administered the first dose to about half of the intended recipients at the long-term care facilities.

    I’m guessing there is more to the story.
