Newsline released a COVID-19 Vaccine Update in March that covered Chicago’s recent announcement of vaccination distribution phase 1c. This phase includes higher education employees, and a survey revealed that 92 percent of DePaul faculty, staff and student-employee respondents said that either have received or plan on receiving a COVID-19 vaccine. That being said, the Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) does not expect people eligible for the vaccine in 1c to make appointments until late May. Read the full update here.
