Kane County received a verbal agreement from state officials to help provide staffing through the end of January for the Batavia vaccination facility. A staff shortage prompted plans to permanently close the site.
Kane County Board Chair Corinne Pierog said she believes the mass vaccination site could become even more in demand as she watches the progress of a proposed federal vaccination mandate for employers of more than 100 people. If the mandate comes into effect, she believes the vaccination site must stay open.
Michael Isaacson, assistant director of community health for the Kane County Health Department, said the county’s vaccination site has been very busy. Kane County Board Public Health Committee Chair Jarrett Sanchez said Kane County is the only Chicago collar county running a mass vaccination site at this point, and most health departments have moved toward targeted vaccination clinics, like mobile clinics in neighborhoods with low vaccination rates.
