The state that has the worst record for two shots given is Illinois at 4.2%. At least Illinois matches the national average of 13.0% for at least one shot given to its adult population. However, it ranks poorly by another measure. A total of 2,924,725 doses have been delivered to the state. Of those "shots given" stand at 2,261,482, or 77%.
Illinois state government has been criticized for the pace at which it has vaccinated its population. According to The Chicago Tribune:
Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s team announced last week it will enlist federal Disaster Survivor Assistance teams to help at COVID-19 vaccination sites in Cook and St. Clair counties. And the Federal Emergency Management Agency will give Cook County $49 million to help with vaccine distribution.
That’s entirely appropriate because so far, Illinois’ rollout of vaccinations has been flat-out disastrous.

One has to wonder which of JB Prickster's companies is botching the rollout and costing Illinoisan's their lives.
2022 cannot come fast enough to dump this fat, worthless POS Governor.
Uh, DemcRAT run state. We know the history. We know the performance (or lack thereof). And we know it’ll continue until the state’s citizens take care of business. In any way they choose. We promise to look the other way.
Of course I don’t see why it matters. I won’t get the vaccine and I live in Illinois. The people who do get the vaccine still wear masks. And the virus cases are falling dramatically even without the vaccine.
I do agree that Illinois is a pile of corruption. But the governor is only a small part of the problem. Millions of democrats at every level of government are the problem. Illinois has to learn the hard way, that yes you can tax people so hard they leave the state. I now pay most of my taxes in Wisconsin. I buy most things in Wisconsin. And whenever possible I go to Wisconsin where you can go maskless in most stores, bars and churches.
Insights welcome.
Oh my, I have less than one and have less than two flu vaccines. Haven’t had the flu in 3-4 years though because I joined the herd.
I’ll be 70 on my next birthday, and I’m a cancer patient (in remission). In Illinois you have to register with the county health department to get on the list for the vaccine. I did that weeks ago. Now they are saying that it probably won’t be until May to even get an APPOINTMENT for the FIRST shot! Illinois is so corrupt and inept it is frightening.
My wife’s relatives are from Illinois and no one 75 and older has got the first shot. One 75 year old sibling is supposedly scheduled to get his first shot due to being a agent Orange exposure e next week.
One of my siblings in Oklahoma, who will be 80 soon finally got the first shot for her 80 year old husband with severe Parkinson’s this weekend. She has not been able get a time for her to be vaccinated, and she is the sole care giver for her husband.
These are not toddering old women, who can’t use a computer.
They are on line all day communicating with relatives and friends,paying bills and making appointments.
If they can’t make an appt for the first shot for themselves and spouse, something is wrong.
I am in my 70’s ...no place available to get the vaccine in my area...which I am starting to thnk might be a good thing
The problem in ILLinois is that they made sure large amounts of the vaccines are being sent to the south and west sides of Chicago (“The Hood”) where they are sitting unused and expiring while the rest of the state can’t even come close to providing vaccines to meet the demand.
Mayor Groot proudly announced a few days ago that they were distributing the vaccine based in race and ethnicity. She would rather give the vaccine to a healthy black 18 year old than an 85 year old white person in a nursing home.
Now, our idiot Mayor wants our not so idiot Governor to release control of the rules to him so he can dose homeless and criminals in jail first. So far, he has saved the Mayor from himself.
Before you get in line, you might want to be sure you can disprove the
possibility of this scenario...

Too many have no idea that these are not normal “vaccines” like you’re
used to. (Or that there might be a good reason not to go down this
particular path, vaccine science-wise.)
~Easy
I’m not getting in line. I’m not getting the “vaccine” that’s been made from aborted babies. Nope. Not me. Not going to have to answer to God for doing that.
BINGO! I was wondering how many posts it’d take to point to Hellinois’ “equity” in vaccinations as being the problem and you’re spot-on.
Self ping
I’ve run into the same **** trying to get my 90 y/o Mom in IL her 1st shot. There actually ARE other avenues, but every single one has dead-ended.

I was thinking.....maybe a blessing, in disguise.

I don’t actually know yet if these first two tools that are not actually
vaccines at all, in the traditional sense, meet that criteria or not, but
similarly, I do not wish to answer for not sounding the alarm on this:

Something that ultimately might mean that folks that get either of these
strange new non vaccine “Vaccines”, in a few years just might have to
become life long bubble people in order to survive a tailored bio-weapon,
engineered to order, targeting the unique, distinguishable new conditions
created only in all humans that receive this particular “treatment”.
Something that was never actually possible to use to kill SELECTED
millions, before now. Now possible, because of the very nature of THESE
“Vaccines”.
(Don’t read if you don’t want to know.)

Maybe “folks” don’t want to take a shot that guranteed will put them down for the count for 24 hours minimum.
