As of Wednesday, December 16, 2020, the COVID-19 vaccine has arrived at CGH Medical Center, 100 E. LeFevre Road, Sterling, IL! This event is a light at the end of a very long tunnel, for our Healthcare workers and our community.
The Northern Illinois Rockford Region 1 includes Boone, Carroll, DeKalb, Jo Daviess, Lee, Ogle, Stephenson, Whiteside, and Winnebago Counties. Not all the Counties in Region 1 are receiving allocations of vaccine.
As part of the “Phase 1a” vaccine distribution, vaccine is being utilized in the Region to reach Healthcare workers and long-term care residents that are most at risk.
As more vaccine becomes available, additional shipments of vaccine will be allocated in additional areas of the Region, to continue to meet the priority group populations.
Please watch www.cghmc.com/covid19vaccine for additional information.
Matt Hammer, PharmD, Director of CGH Pharmacy (center), received the vaccine shipment from Emily Davy Gonzalez, Infectious Disease RN at Whiteside County Health Department, and Whiteside County Sheriff John Booker.
