This also includes information on our first Illinois National Guard Mass Vaccination Site, which will open tomorrow at the Tinley Park Convention Center, and will be updated as more sites managed by the state and hundreds of additional local options.Because the federal supply is currently limited and all states in the nation are facing a shortage, urge all Illinois residents to periodically check available appointments and , meanwhile, mask, keep your distance, wash your hands and remember that we will stay healthy and safe if we watch each other. “
