CHICAGO (WLS) -- COVID-19 vaccination efforts in Chicago and across Illinois took center stage Wednesday afternoon as Congress looks for ways to get more shots in arms.
With the vaccine now being available for kids age 5 to 11, and with COVID cases ticking upward as we approach the holidays, there is renewed effort to get more people vaccinated.
"Nationwide more than 20% of all adults and children over the age of 12 have not yet received even one dose of vaccine," said Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, D-Northwest suburbs.
Mayor Lori Lightfoot and Dr. Ngozi Ezike testified Wednesday before a congressional subcommittee about what has or has not worked to overcome vaccine hesitancy.
Lightfoot cited Chicago's hyperlocal efforts directed at communities where vaccination rates are low, including using ambassadors to go door-to-door to encourage people to get the shot.
"Right now, where we are, you really, there's no one-size-fits-all approach," Lightfoot said. "You've got to simply start the conversation by listening and really getting an understanding of what the particular person's hesitancy is."

Use of the word “hesitancy” owes to the fact that the Deep State controls the media narrative (Operation Mockingbird).
To hesitate implies a pause before a started action concludes, implying that the conclusion is a foregone, inevitable conclusion.
No, you evil buzzards, we say, “NO! and Hell No!” to your evil designs of eliminating 90% of the world’s population, if not fully though this pandemic, than future such activities they likely have lined up for us.
“she could honestly say that Chicago has a higher rate of people getting shots than anywhere else.”
You win.
