On Wednesday, the Illinois Department of Public Health reported the state has topped the 5 million mark for COVID-19 vaccinations.

A total of 5,036,364 vaccines had been administered statewide as of Wednesday morning, including 363,711 for long-term care facilities, according to the IDPH. The seven-day rolling average of vaccines administered daily is 97,680 doses.

The IDPH also reported 5,853,915 doses of vaccine had been delivered to providers in Illinois on Wednesday. About 414,900 doses have been allocated to the federal government’s Pharmacy Partnership Program for long-term care facilities. This brings the total Illinois doses to 6,268,815.

The IDPH on Wednesday reported 112,401 doses of COVID-19 vaccines have been administered in Madison County. That includes 64,991 people receiving at least first doses and 47,410 — or 17.93% — fully vaccinated.

The Madison County Health Department has said the actual numbers for both vaccination categories is higher than the IDPH figures.

The IDPH on Wednesday also reported that 19.52% of residents in Jersey County was fully vaccinated. Other fully vaccinated rates were 18.67% of Greene County, 16.34% in Macoupin County and 17.10% in Calhoun County.

Gov. J.B. Pritzker received a COVID-19 vaccine and briefly took questions from reporters at the Illinois State Fairgrounds on Wednesday as the state’s seven-day rolling average COVID-19 positivity rate ticked up to its highest point since Feb. 22. Pritzker received the Johnson & Johnson one-dose vaccine.

The IDPH on Wednesday reported the preliminary seven-day statewide positivity for cases as a percent of total tests March 17-23 was 2.8%. The preliminary seven-day statewide test positivity for the same period was 3.1%.

“Look, I’m not a doctor, but I trust doctors,” Pritzker said. “And thanks to the great work of our doctors, researchers, and public health scientists, these vaccines offer us all the fastest way back to normal life. I’m not asking you to do anything that I wouldn’t do myself.”

The governor’s office last week said that, by using Pritzker’s bridge phase “all regions of the state will move through the bridge phase and ultimately to Phase 5, together. On Wednesday, however, Pritzker said regions may revert back to previous phases individually if they see a surge.

“Right now we’re on course, we’re still following the guidance that we’ve set out for everybody,” he said. “If for some reason we need to halt and move some region back into a previous phase because the numbers are going way up and beyond the guidelines that we set out for those phases, then you know we’ll have to do that but that’s not where we are now.”

On Wednesday the IDPH reported 20 additional COVID-19 related deaths statewide, including one in St. Clair County, and 2,793 new cases. To date, the IDPH has reported 1,227,708 cases, including 21,136 deaths.

A total of 33 new confirmed and probable COVID-19 cases were reported by the Madison County Health Department late Tuesday. The health department also reported 554 tests and no new deaths, leaving the county tally at 475.

As of Tuesday the county had recorded 28,380 cases and 279,783 tests. The county’s three-day positivity rate Tuesday was 5.53%. The seven-day rate was 5.22% and the 10-day rate was 5.19%.

On Monday night, there were 20 COVID-19 patients in Madison County hospitals, one on a ventilator. Statewide, there were 1,261 COVID-19 patients in hospitals, including 269 in intensive care units and 130 on ventilators on Sunday night.
