Six hundred people per day may be vaccinated every day on the Illinois State Fair Grounds. Health officials are partnering with the Illinois National Guard to provide more opportunity to get vaccinated for COVID. The Guard is now staffing 18 different vaccination sites across the state.

The Springfield vaccination site at the Orr Building on the state Fair Grounds is open to anyone in the state as long as they are in Phase 1A or 1B. The National Guard will also staff mobile vaccination units that will help get doses to people who can’t travel as far.
