11 Illinois Democratic US House members sign letter ripping FEMA’s decision to limit United Center vaccine slots: ‘Pockets of vulnerability exist all across our state’ – Chicago Tribune*

The letter from the representatives said they too share the goal of equitable distribution, but completely barring some of their constituents from United Center appointments was an unfair “departure” from the operation’s original purpose of serving Illinoisans, they said. The lawmakers also lambasted the last-minute changes as particularly anguishing for those with health conditions that put them at higher risk of severe illness or death from COVID-19.
