channel

and

Facebook
live
for
our
coronavirus.
Q.
A
today
is,
may
6
2021.
We
have
been
holding
these
for
the
last
year
since
the
pandemic
started,
which
really
the
pandemic
started
on
march
15th
for
us
here
locally
we
declared
a
local
state
of
emergency,
and
since
then,
this
city
has
been
work
working
hard,
all
of
us
to
keep
our
community
safe
and
to
and
to
save
lives,
and
you
know
over
a
year
later.
A
I
am
really
really
proud
of
the
work
that
everyone
here
in
evanston
has
has
done
to
keep
this
community
safe
on
all
comparative
metrics,
whether
it's
infection
rates,
whether
it's
vaccination
rates,
whether
it's
you
know
cases
per
100,
000
or
deaths
per
100,
000
evanston,
is
comparatively
are
doing
much
better
than
many
of
our
neighbors
being
the
city
of
chicago
or
skokie,
or
even
the
state
of
illinois.
So
there's
a
lot
to
to
be
proud
of
in
a
really
difficult
time
over
the
last
year.
A
I
am
pleased
today
to
have
our
public
health
director
with
us
ike
ogbo,
to
have
our
deputy
public
health
director
greg
olson
with
us
and
to
have
two
of
our
our
volunteers,
who
are
really
superstar
volunteers
throughout
this
entire
effort
here
with
us
today.
A
So
we
can
talk
about
the
volunteer
effort
that
so
many
citizens
stepped
up,
whether
it
was
with
the
medical
reserve
corps
or
the
serp
program,
and
so
we
have
dr
peter
gann
with
us
and
we'll
be
hearing
from
him
shortly
and
we
have
dr
elizabeth
hicks
with
us
who's
a
member
of
the
cert
team,
so
welcome
everyone
before
we
get
into
the
questions-
and
I
know
there's
lots
of
questions
and
remember
if
you
have
a
question
as
this
is
going
on
and
you're
on
facebook
live,
you
can
put
that
question
into
the
comment
section
and
one
of
our
city
staff,
patrick
degnan,
who
works
behind
the
scenes
and
helps
us
put
on
all
these
coronavirus
q
a's.
A
He
will
monitor
that
and
feed
me
those
questions
so
we'll
get
those
questions
answered
as
well.
Before
we
get
to
the
questions
I
would
like
to
to
share
with
everyone.
The
really
good
news
on
where
we
stand
with
vaccination
rates
here
in
evanston,
so
I'm
going
to
ask
patrick
if
he
will
put
up
the
data.
We
have
three
slides
that
I
wanted
to
to
walk
people
through,
and
you
know,
as
I,
as
I
said
up
front,
this
hasn't
been
an
easy
time
over
the
last
year.
A
I
know
there's
been
a
lot
of
uncertainty,
a
lot
of
anxiety
that
folks
have
had,
and
yet
through
all
of
that,
whether
it
was
about
concerns
about
getting
the
the
virus
or
getting
vaccinated
at
a
time
when
there
weren't
enough
vaccines-
and
I
was
frustrated-
and
everybody
was
frustrated-
why
we
didn't
have
more.
I
am
super
proud
to
report
that
on
again
compare
a
comparative
basis.
Evanstonians
have
proven
to
be
very,
very
resourceful
people
in
getting
the
vex
vaccinated.
A
They
weren't
even
all
vaccinated
here
in
the
state
of
illinois,
but
all
all
over
the
country-
and
I
am
proud
today
to
report
that
in
evanston,
a
hundred
percent
of
those
eligible
age,
65
and
up
for
the
vaccine
have
been
vaccinated
now
your
problem
and
they
have
received
at
least
one
dose
so
100
as
you're,
seeing
here
in
that
blue
line
to
the
left
and
you're,
probably
saying
well,
okay,
mayor
like
how
can
we
have
more
than
a
hundred
percent
so
that
everybody's
clear?
A
The
denominator
here
is
the
census
count
on
how
many
65
year
olds
we
have
in
evanston
realize
that
that's
an
estimate
and
that
we're
also
vaccinating
people
that
work
in
evanston.
So
you
could
be
over
the
age
of
65
work
here
and
could
have
been
vaccinated
here
too,
so
so
that
could
factor
into
to
why
we're
seeing
a
percentage
that's
actually
over
a
hundred
percent,
even
though
we're
showing
a
hundred
percent
right
here
and
that's
the
rationale
for
92
of
six,
those
65
and
older
have
received
two
vaccines.
A
That
is
really
really
good
news.
Remember
when
we
had
limited
supply
of
vaccines,
we
did
make
a
decision
here
in
evanston
that
we
were
going
to
allocate
those
vaccines
to
those
that
were
most
at
risk
and
we
know
throughout
this
entire
pandemic
that
those
are
folks,
65
and
older.
So
that
was
a
decision
made
by
ike
ogbo
and
our
public
health
department,
one
that
I
agreed
with,
and
I
think
many
people
agreed
with
and
we're
seeing
the
benefit
of
that
on
this
chart.
A
If
you
compare
where
evanston
stands,
you
can
see
you
know
chicago's
down
at
72
and
62
again
for
for
first
doses
and
then
for
both
doses.
Cook
county
is
doing
well
at
75
percent
and
68,
and
then
illinois
and
then
you've
got
the
national
average
so
on.
Every
metric
folks,
here
in
evanston,
have
really
stood
up
and
and
taking
things
into
their
own
hand
and
finding
a
way
to
get
vaccinated.
A
So
I
really
appreciate
that
effort
and
the
effort
that
our
public
health
department
made
if
we
look
at
vaccinations
by
region-
and
this
is
for
the
entire
eligible
population-
remember
right
now-
the
eligible
population
is
those
16
and
older.
A
We'll
talk
a
little
later
about
when
we
may
start
to
see
a
vaccine
for
those
younger
than
16,
which
I
know
many
people,
including
myself,
who
has
some
a
child
in
the
house,
who's
13
years
old,
are
anxious
to
to
have
a
safe
vaccination
for
them
as
well.
But
if
you
look
at
the
overall
eligible
population,
78
of
evanstonians
have
received
at
least
one
dose
and
50.
Almost
55
percent
have
received
two
doses
of
the
vaccine.
A
Again
you
compare
that
to
chicago
cook,
county
illinois,
the
united
states,
which
all
are
generally
at
the
same.
At
that
same
level,
you
know,
evanston
is
running.
You
know
15
20
points
higher
than
than
the
than
the
country
and
so
again
really
really
good
good
news.
I
think
it
also
speaks
to
the
fact
that
you
know
evanstonians,
for
the
most
part,
see
this
as
a
safe
vaccine,
which
I
very
much
believe
it
is.
A
Our
medical
community
here
in
evanston,
strongly
believes
in
this
vaccine,
and
so
we
have
a
high
percentage
of
our
population
that
are
getting
vaccinated.
That
is
good
for
all
of
us.
It
keeps
our
community
safe,
but
we
do
need
because
people
cross
borders,
we
do
need
everybody
in
surrounding
areas
and
in
our
throughout
our
entire
state
and
really
throughout
the
entire
country
to
get
vaccinated.
So
we'll
talk
about
that
now,
because
we're
moving
into
a
stage,
that's
a
little
harder
right
where
some
people
are
hesitant
and
we
need
to
get
out
there.
A
All
of
us
with
an
appropriate
message
that
helps
reduce
that
has
hesitancy
and
gets
folks
vaccinated
and
then
the
last
chart
I
wanted
to
show
was
new
cases
per
100
000..
So
I
talked
about
the
infection
rate
and
that
evanston's
done
a
particularly
good
job
from
the
very
beginning
of
managing
and
containing
our
infection
rate.
And
if
you
look
on
this
chart,
the
blue
line
is
evanston
throughout
really.
You
know
the
entire
disaster
you're
seeing
a
year
here
and
very
seldom
did
that
blue
line
cross.
A
You
know
the
yellow
or
the
blue,
the
red
or
the
green,
which
represents
skokie
in
chicago
in
illinois,
which
means
we
consistently
throughout
this
event
managed
really
well
the
the
new
cases
per
100
000.
And
so,
if
you
look
at
the
very
end
right
now
of
where
we
are
today,
evanston
continues
to
to
do
a
really
good
job,
so
so
kudos
to
everyone
for
the
job
that
you've
done.
Despite
all
of
this
good
work,
I
don't
want
anyone
to
to
forget.
A
We
should
always
be
mindful
that,
sadly,
we
have
lost
113
116
lives
here
in
evanston
due
to
the
pandemic,
and
if
you
drive
by
the
evanston
civic
center
you'll
see
flags
out
in
front
of
the
civic
center,
which
is
a
touching
memorial
for
each
person
that
has
passed
away.
Sadly,
because
of
this
because
of
this
event,
so
that's
so
that's
the
news
and
and
where
and
where
we
are.
Let's,
let's
get
down
to
you
know
some
questions
and
I'm
gonna
start
with
our
public
health
department,
so
ike
ike
and
greg.
A
B
Good
day,
everyone
we're
not
seeing
what
we
characterize
in
public,
how
that
breakthrough
cases
in
evanston,
we
don't
have
any
reports
of
in
the
breakthrough
cases
in
evanston,
which
is
which
is
great
great
news,
so
we're
keeping
times
on
that
are
people,
who've
been
vaccinated
and
possibly
be
able
to
get
covet
covered
19,
but
it's
not
something
that
we
have
been
experiencing
here
in
everton
design,
as
I
mentioned
this
is.
This
is
great
great
news
that
we're
not
really
not
seeing
that
about.
B
Two
weeks
ago
I
was
in
communication
with
the
director
for
chicago
health
department.
At
that
time
she
also
expressed
to
me
that
they
are
not
seeing
any
breakthrough
breakthrough
cases
in
chicago
either,
which
is
absolutely
great
great
news,
and
I
hope
that
this
trend
continues
where
we
are
not
seeing
any
breakthrough
cases.
Is
it
possible
yeah?
It
is
possible.
There
are
some
reports
of
breakthrough
cases
where
people
have
been
vaccinated
and
contracted
the
virus,
but
it's
not
something
that
we
have
been
experiencing.
A
But
the
bottom
line
then
like
as
I
listen
to
you,
is
that
the
vaccine
is
highly
effective
from
you
know:
protecting
people
from
getting
copin
19.,
yes,
and
those
that
are
getting
covenant
that
have
you
know
the
few
cases
out
there
that
where
they
have
been
vaccinated
and
still
gotten
coveted
19,
the
condition
has
been
much
less
severe
for
them.
Absolutely.
B
And
that's
what
the
vaccine
does
the
vaccine?
What
it
does
is
prevent
you
from
seriously
getting
ill
from
covet
19,
but
it
doesn't
necessarily
mean
that
you
can't
contract
or
transmute
the
virus,
but
it
is.
These
are
effective
viruses
at
high
efficacy
rates
to
make
sure
that
people
are
protected
from
it
could
be
19.
A
So
I
one
of
the
one
of
the
items
in
the
news
recently
was
that
there
are
a
lot
of
people
around
the
country
that
have
gone
for
their
first
dose
and
received
their
first
dose,
but
they
never
came
back
for
their
second
dose.
Are
we
seeing
that
here
in
evanston.
B
A
B
Significant
issue
here
in
evanston
people
are
receiving
their
second
doses
in
evanston.
What
we've
actually
experienced
the
mayor
is
people
who
will
miss
their
second
dose
in
one
of
the
schedule
to
receive
their
second
days
for
another
day,
maybe
due
to
a
business
matter
or
due
to
travel.
I've
already
been
able
to
accommodate
those
individuals
and,
as
you
mentioned
a
while
ago,
the
vaccination
is
kind
of
like
okay,
a
bus
ticket.
B
If
you
miss
today's
vaccination
event,
we
have
vaccinations
and
subsequently
every
week
where
people
can
get
their
second
days
if
they
missed
it,
when
they
were
pretty
much
to
you,
and
also
you
have
to
keep
in
mind
that
after
the
first
dose,
you
have
up
to
six
six
weeks
to
receive
it.
But
that's
not
what
we
are
recommending.
B
We're
recommending
that
people
get
their
second
dose
close
to
three
weeks
provides
for
four
weeks
for
formulating
a
vaccine.
B
Absolutely
it
is,
after
those
14
days
where
you're
adequately
inoculated
and
that's
why
we
are
strongly
encouraging
people
to
get
the
full
series
of
the
other
vaccine.
Fires
are
two
doses
within
the
two
doses,
johnson
johnson,
I'll
see
our
single
goals.
Okay,
all.
A
A
That
has,
you
know,
really
been
anxious
and
wanted
to
get
vaccinated
has
been
able
to
get
vaccinated
and
I'd
like
you
to
talk
just
a
little
about
that
as
we're
doing
vaccination
events
what
ages
we're
down
to
greg,
because
you
know
for
the
longest
time
we'd
have
these
coronavirus,
q
and
a's
and
it'd
be
like
yeah
we're
at
70
and
above
or
72
and
above
and
I
would
get
all
these
emails
like
mayor,
come
on
like
let's
get
going
and
we
didn't
have
enough
vaccines
that
were
going
to
our
health
department,
which
everybody
was
frustrated
about,
including
me
so
I'd
like
you
to
talk
a
little
about
where,
where
we
stand
right
now
with
our
events,
but
I
want
you
to
talk
about
this
new
this
new
stage.
A
I
think
that
we're
moving
into,
which
is
how
do
we
vaccinate
those
who
have
some
hesitation
right
now
to
to
be
vaccinated
and
and
what
efforts
we're
trying
to
trying
to
take
there.
C
Yeah
so
vaccine
hesitancy
I
mean
there
is
there's
going
to
be
hesitancy
for
every
single
vaccine,
there's
a
spectrum
of
people
who
want
the
vaccine
actively
and
they
will
go
out
of
their
way
to
get
it.
There's
individuals
who
will
get
the
vaccine
if
it
comes
to
them,
but
they're
not
going
to
actively
seek
it
out
and
then
there's
others
who
you
know
are
actively
not
getting
the
vaccine.
C
The
good
thing
that
we've
seen
with
this
vaccine-
and
it
shows
in
our
percentage
vaccinated,
is
that
a
lot
of
evanstonians
wanted
this
vaccine,
which
is
great.
So
we
at
our
pods
we're
down
now
to
18
and
up
everybody
in
the
evanston
community
who
lives
or
works
here
is
eligible
for
a
vaccine
at
our
pod.
C
Since
we're
doing
the
modern
vaccine
in
our
pods,
you
have
to
be
18
years
of
age
or
older,
and
so
in
the
beginning
we
had
the
model
of
mass
vaccination
sites
in
order
to
get
as
many
people
as
we
can
now
that
it's
getting
harder
and
harder
to
fill
those
open
first
dose
spots
just
because
everyone's
gotten
it
we're
having
to
switch
our
models
to
make
the
vaccine
as
accessible
as
possible,
and
we
do
this
by
holding
community
events
out
in
the
community.
We've
done
three
church
events.
C
We
have
an
event
coming
up
this
weekend
on
saturday,
because
you
know
we
know
that
our
vaccine
clinics
take
place
during
work
hours
during
the
week,
and
people
can't
take
off
work
so
we're
having
a
weekend
event
this
saturday,
so
every
individual
can
do
it.
So
really
it's
it's
making
the
vaccine
as
easily
as
accessible
as
possible.
C
A
And
you're
doing
a
heck
of
a
job
again
78
of
the
eligible
people
have
had
at
least
one
dose
here
here
in
evanston.
So
what
about
the
folks?
We
got
a
question
from
a
guy
named
steve
who
wants
to
know.
I
have
a
17
year
old
who
hasn't
been
vaccinated
yet,
and
you
just
said
at
the
city
event,
you
know
you
have
mcdonough,
which
is
18
and
older.
Well,
what
about
my
17
year
old
daughter?
How
does
she
get
vaccinated
here
in
evans.
C
Yeah
so
pfizer
vaccine,
that's
currently
the
only
vaccine
that
is
for
16
and
17
year
olds,
16
17
up,
so
we
have
been
partnering
with
amita
saint
francis
to
administer
the
pfizer
doses.
C
Actually
just
this
week,
amita
is
holding
a
event
prioritizing
16
and
17
year
olds
in
the
evanston
community.
So
we've
been
stressing
to
have
everyone
fill
out
that
vaccine
contact
form
and
now,
at
this
point
even
younger
than
16.
Since
you
know
it's
assumed
at
the
end
of
the
month,
pfizer
will
be
get
be
granted
the
eua
for
12
to
15
year
olds.
C
You
know
so
parents
should
be
filling
out
contact
forms
for
their
children
if
they
would
like
them
to
get
that
vaccine,
because
that
is
how
that's
one
of
the
ways
that
we'll
be
able
to
reach
out
to
you.
If
you're
of
that
age
group
to
notify
you
of
the
vaccine
advisor
when
it
becomes
available.
A
Thank
you
greg,
so
I
can
you
elaborate
on
that
because
we
have
this
contact
form
and
I
think
it's
important
to
remind
people
I
mean
greg's
greg
touched
on.
You
know
the
fda
possibly
approving
soon
in
the
next
week
or
so
the
va
the
pfizer
vaccine
for
those
I
believe
it's
12
and
up
so
can
you
talk
to
the
community
about
that
a
little
more
and
what
they
need
to
do
if
they
haven't
already
and
they're
interested
in
getting
their?
You
know,
13
year
old
son,
you
know
or
daughter,
vaccinated.
B
Absolutely
we
are
being
hopeful
that
by
the
end
of
this
month,
only
june
that
pfizer
will
be
approved
for
12
and
up
so
we
want
to
ensure
that
everyone
who
wants
to
get
vaccinated
here
in
evanston
gets
vaccinated
and
one
of
the
avenues
that
we
are
employing
is
that
vaccination
contact
form
that
we
have
online.
B
B
You
can
enter
any
age
in
that
vaccine
contact
form
because
we
know
hopefully
that
by
the
end
of
this
this
year,
that
there
will
be
some
approvals
for
perhaps
more
dana,
because
right
now
being
a
trial
phases
for
those
who
are
six
months
and
older,
so
that
contact
form
will
be
our
deposit
of
names
and
any
individuals
who
are
interested
in
receiving
the
vaccine.
So
that's
pretty
much
our
need
of
reaching
out
to
individuals
when
vaccines
are
available
for
particular
age
groups
to
get
vaccinated.
B
So
that's
what
we
are.
We
are
encouraging
people
people
to
do
it
to
do
at
this
moment.
A
All
right,
so,
if
you're,
what
if
you're
watching
this
you
have,
you
have
a
child
and
you
haven't
filled
out
the
contact
form.
You
should
go
to
the
city
of
evanston
website,
dot,
org,
forward,
slash,
covet,
covet,
19
and
look
for
this
contact
form
or
just
google
city.
You
know
evanston
coven,
19
contact
form
and
it
should
come
up
and
you
want
to
complete
that
contact
form
as
soon
as
possible.
That
way
the
city
is
aware.
B
At
this
point,
we're
exploring
as
many
options
as
possible,
we
can
go
through
healthcare
providers
if,
by
that
time,
the
healthcare
providers
are
able
to
order
their
supplies
directly
from
the
state.
We
will
also
explore
the
idea
of
using
a
centralized
location
just
like
we
have
been
doing
throughout
the
pandemic
right
now.
We
have
the
blonde
quest
fielding
at
northwestern.
B
We
are
also
looking
at
other
options
of
going
to
where
these
age
groups
are,
whether
it's
a
particular
location,
whether
it's
the
schools
to
get
them
vaccinated.
So
there
are
a
number
of
options
that
we
are
exploring
at
this
time,
which
will
be
effective
options
to
get
that
age
group
vaccinated
when
the
time
comes.
A
Have
you
have
you
coordinated
with
our
district
65
and
district
202,
particularly
high
school
students,
because
you
could
have
some
that
are
age,
16
and
above
ike
in
getting
them
vaccinated?
I
know
we've
made
a
big
effort
here
and
through
our
partnership
with
walgreens
and
walgreens
health
solutions,
a
local
company
helping
us,
you
know
get
teachers
vaccinated
here,
but
our
high
school
students
also
getting
vaccinated
and
are
you
coordinating
with
the
high
school
on
that.
B
Yeah
absolutely
actually
have
a
meeting
right
after
this
one
to
discuss
those
those
plans
and
options.
So
we
have
been
communicating
from
with
regards
to
12
year
olds
and
up
16
year
olds,
17
years
to
get
them
substantially,
especially
with
16
17
years,
to
get
them
substantially
vaccinated
and
discuss
plans
on
how
to
get
12
to
15
years
vaccinated
when
the
final
vaccine
is
approved
optimistically
by
the
end
of
this
month.
That
early
early
journey.
A
Thank
you
like.
I
want
to
turn
our
attention
to
for
just
a
minute
to
who's
getting
infected
right.
Now,
all
right
we
have
vaccinated.
You
know
our
senior
population,
we've
vaccinated
lots
of
our
middle
age
population
and
now,
as
I
just
mentioned,
we're
vaccinating
our
younger
people.
Yet
we
still
are
seeing
cases
out
there.
A
We
talked
earlier
that
this
vaccine
is
effective.
If
you
get
the
vaccine,
your
chance
of
getting
covet
is
really
pretty
minimal,
yet
we're
still
seeing
cases,
so
you
know
greg.
Why
don't
you?
Why
don't
you
take
take
this
one?
And
you
know
talk
to
us
about
you
know
who
is
you
know
getting
infected
right
now?
What
are
we?
What
are
the
patterns
that
we're
seeing
you
know
and
and
who's
being
hospitalized.
C
Yeah
so
right
now
the
majority
of
our
cases
are
in
the
20
year
old
to
30
year
old
age
group.
That's
that's
where
we've
been
seeing
them
for
the
last
few
weeks
and
I
that's
specific
to
evanston
and
that
actually
translates
to
to
how
it
is
across
the
state
as
well.
C
So
a
lot
of
college
universities
were
able
to
take
advantage
of
the
state-sponsored
vaccination
sites,
and
you
know
we're
seeing
it
too,
because
we
had
been
we've
been
having
weekly
meetings
with
northwestern,
along
with
other
county
health
departments
and
everybody's
having
a
difficult
time
filling
those
first
those
spots
because
people
are
getting
vaccinated
and
we
just
want
to
continue
to
spread
that
message
to
the
younger
population.
A
Yeah,
I
think
it's
really
really
important
that
we
stress
that
when
I
sit
in
on
the
emergency
operation,
I'm
part
of
the
unified
command
in
the
emergency
operations
center
when
we
have
when
we
have
our
meetings
or
even
the
the
mayor's
pandemic
task
force
meetings
that
we
have
been
having
weekly
with
many
different
leaders
in
the
community
and
different
sectors,
including
the
hospital
presidents,
it
hurts
when
you
listen
to
the
hospital
presidents
and
they
talk
about.
A
Oh
yeah,
we've
still
got,
you
know:
60
people
hospitalized
with
covet
19
and
now
they're,
not
necessarily
you
know,
people
that
are
70
or
80
years
old,
they're
people
that
are
30
or
40
years
old
that
are
having
a
really
bad
case
of
cova,
19
and
being
hospitalized.
Now
I
think
we're
seeing
the
deaths.
You
know
fatalities
from
that
go
down,
meaning
you
know
their
likelihood
of
having
a
fatal
case
of
it
is
decreasing,
but
they're
still
being
hospitalized,
and
I
think
that's
really
important
for
us
all
to
remember.
A
We
are
not,
you
know
done
with
this
pandemic.
Yet,
even
though
we
can
all
see
the
light
here
and
we're
all
excited
about
summer
and
being
outdoors,
I
think
it's
really
really
important
to
stress
that
we
need
to
continue
to
wear
masks
when
we
are
indoors
cert,
certainly,
and
if
we're
outdoors
in
a
larger
gathering,
we
need
we
need
to
wear
masks.
So
I
I
want
to
turn
to
you
on
this,
because
cdc
has
recently
put
out
some
updates
on
on
you
know
social
distancing
and
mask
wearing.
A
Can
you
share
that
with
our
with
our
community
and
then
I
have
one
more
question
and
we're
gonna
pivot
to
our
volunteers,
who
have
made
this
all
happen.
Absolutely.
B
B
vaccinations
are
alone
within
subdue
our
control
substantially
that
there's
virus.
We
have
to
continue
applying
these
basic
preventative
measures
that
we
have
been
applying
since
the
beginning
of
this
pandemic.
So
as
we
go
into
this
pandemic,
these
four
tools
that
we
must
use
are
to
protect
ourselves
and
to
protect
our
community.
A
Okay,
all
right,
like
last
last
question
for
you
how
many
for
adding
first
and
second
dose
vaccinations
just
in
terms
of
quantity.
How
many
have
we
done
through
the
public
health
department?
Yes,
estimate
it
doesn't
have
to
be
the
exact
numbers.
Twenty
thousand
thirty
thousand.
A
All
right,
so
almost
twenty
thousand
you
know
needles
have
gone
into
the
arms
of
people
and
could
you
have
done
that
without
the
the
large
group
of
volunteers.
B
No-
and
I
can't
thank
them
enough-
they
have
been
tremendous
in
our
efforts
and
not
just
with
vaccinations
mayor.
They
have
been
instrumental
in
contact
tracing
case
interviews
and,
of
course,
vaccinations
and
another
point.
This
has
not
been
the
only
large-scale
event
in
which
they
have
participated
in
multitudes.
I
would
say,
if
you
remember
in
2009
2010,
we
had
the
h2n1
outbreak
and
they
were
instrumental
in
ensuring
that
over
12
000
community
members
were
vaccinated.
So
they've
been
tremendous,
and
I
I
can't
thank
them
enough.
B
A
Our
system,
that
is
a
great
segue
to
our
two
guests
today,
dr
elizabeth
hicks
and
dr
peter
gann,
who,
along
with
many
many
other
people,
have
volunteered
their
time
and
their
and
their
expertise
and
their
training
to
help
our
community
through
that
through
this
pandemic.
A
I
have
said
before,
on
the
coronavirus,
q,
a
and,
and
many
other
you
know,
places
that
that
I've
been
that
there's
nothing
better
in
my
opinion
than
helping
people
at
a
time
when
people
really
need
the
help
of
the
government
and
I've
been
blessed
to
spend
an
entire
career
doing
that,
after
all
sorts
of
big
incidents
around
the
around
the
country.
I
never
thought
I
would
spend
my
time
as
mayor
spending.
A
You
know
over
a
year
doing
that,
but
it's
incredibly
rewarding
and
fulfilling
work,
and
I
think
both
dr
hickson
and
dr
gan
would
agree,
and
so
I
want.
I
want
to
share
with
everybody
that
that's
watching
what
these
two
programs
are,
the
type
of
work
that
our
volunteers
have
done.
A
So,
let's
dr
hicks,
let's
start
with
you
and
first,
why
don't
you
just
provide
a
little
background
to
folks
that
are
watching
on
on
your
background
and
then
describe
how
you
got
involved
in
the
cert
program
and
what
cert
means
I'll?
Let
you
share
that
with
everyone
and
how
you
got
involved
and
folks
that
are
watching.
You
know,
keep
this
in
mind.
If
you
have
an
interest
in
the
future
in
volunteering
and
being
part
of
a
an
established
program,
you
know
certain
mers
are
possible.
D
Hey,
thank
you,
so
I'm
elizabeth
hicks,
I'm
a
research
scientist
and
I
study
fluid
dynamics
specifically
for
astrophysics,
so
I'm
also
a
part
of
the
cert
team
as
a
volunteer.
I'm
also
part
of
the
mrc
actually,
but
I'm
here
today
to
represent
the
start
team.
So
the
search
team
is
the
city
of
evanston's
community
emergency
response
team
so
start
is
an
idea
that
goes
back
to
the
early
1990s
and
what
happened
is
that
the
los
angeles
fire
department
in
the
80s?
D
Actually
they
had
an
earthquake
and
they
realized
two
important
things.
So,
first
of
all,
in
a
really
large
disaster,
the
number
of
first
responders
is
you're,
never
going
to
have
enough
first
responders.
It's
just
not
really
possible
and.
D
Second
thing
that
they
realized
was
that
people
who
were
bystanders
were
going
to
try
to
help.
They
were
going
to
try
to
do
things
to
help
people
who
are
in
need
and
who
needed
help,
and
so
what
the?
What
this
city
of
los
angeles
realized
is
that
they
could
take
advantage
of
that
and
they
could
provide
some
training
to
on
people
who
lived
in
the
city
and
that
training
could
help
them
be
more
personally
prepared
themselves.
D
But
it
could
also
help
them
help
in
the
event
of
a
disaster.
Their
neighbors
are
more
safely
and
more
effectively
and
that's
where
the
start
program
was
born
for
was
born
from,
and
so
it
was
sort
of
it
became
a
national
program
under
fema.
And
so
what
happens?
Is
that
fema
sort
of
sets
up
a
curriculum
for
the
cert
program
and
has
some
guidelines
for
how
how
search
should
be
run,
but
then
start
is
run
by
local
emergency
response
agencies.
D
So
in
evanston,
that's
the
evanston
fire
department,
so
our
evanston
circle
was
established
in
2004
by
the
evanston
fire
department
and
our
current
fire
department.
Lead
is
division
chief,
kimberly,
cole,
and
so
she
is
she's
in
she's
in
charge
of
our
group,
and
we
offer
sort
of
two
things
to
help.
People
in
evanston
be
more
be
more
prepared
and
also
to
help
out
potentially
with
with
disasters.
So
the
first
thing
is
that
we
have
a
cert
class,
so
the
cert
class
is
open
to
anybody.
D
It's
a
six
week
class
and
we're
probably
going
to
have
it
this
fall,
and
so
it's
one
night
a
week
for
six
weeks
and
you
get
to
learn
how
to
do
some
fun
things.
So
you
get
to
learn
how
to
you
know,
put
out
a
small
fire,
do
some
light
search
and
rescue,
and
you
learn
some
things
about
disaster,
medical
and
disaster.
Psychology
also
as
well,
and
so
it's
a
lot
of
fun.
D
You
get
to
get
to
have,
you
know,
go
to
class
and
like
have
fun,
trying
out
all
these
things
with
with
your
new
friends,
and
so
it's
just
a
it's
just
a
really
good
time,
and
then,
after
that,
you
know
some
basic
skills
that
are
actually
really
useful,
like
actually
using
a
fire
extinguisher
very
fun.
And
so
then,
afterwards
you
have
the
option
to
join
the
cert
team,
and
so
the
the
cert
team.
D
We
do
continuing
training
to
sort
of
keep
those
skills
fresh,
and
then
we
also
help
out
around
the
city.
Just
with
regular
events
like
you
may
have
seen
a
set,
for
example,
bike,
the
ridge
or
the
fourth
of
july
parade.
We
volunteer
both
of
those
things
and
then
this
year,
you've
also
seen
some
of
us
help
out
at
the
coronavirus,
pods
as
well,
and
then
also
we're
available
for,
like
other
kind
of
things
like
the
nickel
school
bombing,
was
cert
volunteers
who
helped
out
of
that.
D
When
the
united
nations
came
to
chicago
the
cert,
helped
out
of
that
as
well.
So
there's
been
yeah,
there's
been
a
lot
of
different.
There's
been
a
lot
of
different
things.
Over
the
years
that
that
sure
has
helped
out
helped
out
with
so,
if
you'd
like
to
find
out
more
about
cert
program,
you
can
go
to
cityofevanston.org
and
you
can
apply
and
get
more
information.
D
A
Thank
you,
elizabeth.
How
many
do
you
know
how
many
members
of
cert
we
have
here
in
evanston.
D
So
we've
had
hundreds
of
people
take
the
cert
class.
Current
active
cert
members
is
about
20.
and
we
are,
I
think,
because
the
pandemic
we've
had
a
lot
of
interest
and
so
we're
hoping
to
make
the
team
bigger
like
quickly
so.
A
Yeah,
yeah
and
and
I'll
tell
you
for
the
fourth
of
july,
because
cert
does
help
out
with
the
fourth
of
july
parade
and
all
of
that,
but
then
they
also
get
great
seats
for
the
fireworks
down
by
the
lakes.
I
hang
out
with
all
the
shirt
people
down
there.
When
I
I
got
special
special
viewing
and
a
little
too
close
to
the
fireworks
for
me,
but
but
they're
all
certified.
I
guess,
as
these
community
emergency
you
know
helpers,
so
elizabeth
talk
a
little
more
for
our
audience.
A
If
you
would
about
your
role
and
the
role
of
all
the
different
cert
members
with
the
pandemic
and
and
how
how
they
used
you
for
that.
D
Yes,
so
in
the
pandemic
there
have
been
kind
of
there's
been
one
major
role
and
then
sort
of
like
two
minor
roles,
so
so
service
cert
is
always
like
kind
of
like
waiting.
In
the
background
for
someone
to
be
like,
we
need
you
so
the
first
time
that
we
got
a
certain
contact.
It
was
in
december
when
the
health
department
was
looking
for
extra
contact
tracers,
so
we
put
together
a
group
of
people
about
10
people
who'd
be
willing
to
do
that.
Fortunately,
we
weren't
needed.
D
So
there
wasn't
this
sort
of
like
after
christmas
spike
that
was
sort
of
feared
what
didn't
get
as
big
as
as
as
feared.
So
the
next
thing
that
happened
is
that
we
were
asked
to
volunteer
at
the
coronavirus,
pods
and
that's
been
that's
been
most
of
what
we've
been
doing.
So
we
have
about
10
people
who
are
very
regular
volunteers,
some
extremely
regular.
I
think
we
have
some
one.
D
One
marilyn
goes
to
almost
every
single
one,
so
she
is
she's
really
dedicated
a
lot
of
time
to
this,
so
we
go
and
then,
when
you're
at
when
you're
at
the
pod,
you
get
to
do
a
lot
of
sorts
act
as
floaters,
so
they
help
to
sort
of
show
people
where
they
should
go
at
the
pods
and
then
my
personal
job
that
I
work
on
is
a
check-in
screener.
D
So
when
someone
comes
in,
I
check
their
driver's
license.
I
like
make
sure
that
they're
in
the
system-
and
then
I
go
through-
I
help
questions
with
them.
I
think
the
most
important
thing
I
do
is
that
I
sort
of
give
people
information
about
their
second
dose
and
answer
any
questions
that
they
might
have
about
the
virus
about,
I
mean
not
about
the
vaccine.
D
A
We
had
a
question
from
carol,
then
I'm
curious.
If
you
might
know
the
know,
the
answer
I'll
ask
you
instead
of
her
and
if
you
don't
we'll,
we'll
throw
it
over
to
gregor
ike.
Does
the
state
of
illinois
keep
records
on
who
has
been
vaccinated
and
if
so,
how
can
I
be
sure
that
my
record
is
up
to
date,
a
woman
named
carol.
D
Okay,
yeah,
I'm
not
gonna,
have
it.
The
answer
is
yes,
they
do
keep
records,
how
to
check
those
records.
I
have
no
idea
so.
A
The
health
department's
gonna
have
to
answer
that
one
yeah
on
that
one
for
carol
all
right.
I've
got
another
question,
but-
and
it's
gonna
be
of
the
same
question
for
peter
when
I'm
gonna
do
it
towards
the
end?
Okay.
So
thank
you
for
that.
Dr
hicks.
A
Let's
go
to
doc,
let's
get
on
dr
ganz
to
talk
about
murders
and
what
murs
means
and
and
a
little
about
your
background
peter
and
how
you
got
involved
and
and
then
what
you're
all
doing
out
there
at
what
you've
been
doing
for
the
the
life
of
this
pandemic,
which
is
quite
a
lot.
E
Okay,
so
currently
I'm
a
professor
at
uic
college
of
medicine
and
I'm
in
the
department
of
pathology,
but
I'm
not
actually
a
pathologist,
I'm
an
epidemiologist
after
medical
school,
I
got
a
second
doctoral
degree
in
cancer
epidemiology,
which
is
very
different
from
infectious
disease
epidemiology.
Of
course
we
had
to
have
some
of
that,
but
it's
been
really
interesting
for
me
to
really
increase
my
understanding
of
infectious
disease
dynamics.
E
As
a
result
of
this,
this
horrible
problem
we've
had
I
I
can't
really
give
you
a
history
of
the
mrc,
as
elizabeth
just
did
for
cert,
because
I
don't.
I
don't
really
have
that
knowledge,
but
I
can
tell
you
that
in
the
really
dark
days
very
early,
you
know
last
spring
when
we
were
seeing
hospitals
overwhelmed
and
some
just
you
know
unbelievable
scenes
of
pain
and
distress.
E
It
really
wasn't
very
hard
to
sort
of
think
about
how
I
might
be
able
to
help
and-
and
I
think
I
I
feel-
and
I
think
everybody
should
realize
how
fortunate
we
are
to
have
the
kind
of
services
that
we
have
here
in
evanston.
First
of
all,
I
mean
having
a
certified
health
department
with
qualified
people
running.
It
is
it's
a
it's
just.
It
makes
a
huge
difference
if
you
can
imagine
what
it
would
be
like
for
us
dealing
with
this
pandemic.
E
So
the
the
city
by
partnering,
with
volunteers
and
tapping
into
the
the
motivation
and
the
expertise
of
volunteers
is
critical
not
only
for
the
pandemic,
but
I
think
for
a
lot
of
other
other
things
as
well
as
well.
E
So
I
found
out
about
mrc-
probably
some
at
some
point
last
year
and
signed
up
for
it,
but
there
wasn't
really
a
lot
that
could
be
done.
At
that
point,
we
didn't
have
a
vaccine,
you
know
contact
tracing.
I
wish
there
had
been
more
contact
racing
because,
frankly,
we
the
way
this
virus
was
handled.
We
basically
blew
an
opportunity
to
essentially
eliminate
it
by
letting
it
spread
and
develop
as
many
variants
as
it
has.
A
And
can
I
just
stop
you
there?
The
doctor?
I
totally
agree
with
you
and
I
just
want
for
people
that
that
are
watching.
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
reasons.
Why
again
on
those
those
metrics
that
I
went
over
and
I've
gone
over
in
the
past,
that
we
have
done
so
well,
there's
a
bunch
of
different
reasons.
One
being
we
have
a
public
health
department,
another
one
being
that
at
least
here
in
evanston
we
did
do
contact
tracing
from
day
one
throughout
the
entire
event.
A
So
when
when
I
just
want
the
viewers
who
are
watching
when
you're
listening
to
this,
that
didn't
happen
in
a
lot
of
other
places,
big
cities
and
stuff
because
it
just
became
overwhelming
to
them
and
they
sort
of
threw
up
their
hands
and
they
stopped
contact
tracing.
And
when
you
stop
contact
tracing,
you
don't
know
where
the
spread's
occurring
in
your
community.
E
E
No,
no
no,
the
virus
was
was
far
too
widespread
to
allow
practical
contact
tracing.
I
think
we
all
understand
that
you
know
I
worked
for
several
years
in
the
new
jersey
state
department
of
health.
Again
it
was
not
an
infectious
disease,
but
I
worked
very
closely
with
the
people
who
were
doing
statewide
infectious
disease
control
and
essentially
you
know
for
a
lot
of
diseases
we
are
now
able
to.
E
You
know,
basically
find
the
hot
spots
and
and
surround
them
with
contact
tracing
and
vaccination
and
testing
and
and
we
we
simply
weren't
prepared
to
do
that
and
I'm
talking
about
not
only
nationally,
but
certainly
we're
seeing
that
globally.
So
I
I
want
to
also
say
that
I
mean
just
what
was
the
experience
like
so
it
you
know.
E
So
you
know
I'm
a
physician.
I
used
to
practice
medicine.
I
no
longer
act
actively
practice,
but
basically,
when
something
like
this
comes
up,
you
just
want
to
do
whatever
is
going
to
be
helpful,
and
in
this
case,
as
elizabeth
was
saying,
I
mean
in
order
to
make
these
dispensing
I'll
call
them
clinics
really
function.
You
need
people
doing
things
that
are
frankly
quite
repetitive
and
very
basic.
E
They
don't
require
a
huge
amount
of
skill
but
they're
essential
and
so-
and
I
have
to
say,
having
seen
I
I
got
my
own
immunization
at
uic
at
the
hospital
there
and
having
talked
to
a
lot
of
other
people,
who've
gotten
their
vaccine
at
other
places
the
process
that
was
used
by
the
city
health
department
to
conduct
these
vaccinations
was
far
more
organized
efficient
than
many
others.
I've
seen
the
collection
of
data
was
extremely
important.
E
Obviously
so
one
of
the
functions
that
as
elizabeth
described
people
will
come
in
and
then
they
they
will
have
information
collected
about
them.
That's
essential
regarding
the
safety
of
the
vaccine,
for
them
then
being
able
to
submit
data
to
idph
the
state
health
department
so
that
we
can
actually
keep
track
of
what's
happening
to
the
community.
E
All
of
those
things
are
functions
that
the
volunteers
are
necessary,
for
I
have
to
say
also
that,
as
a
volunteer
doing
these
kinds
of
things,
you
know
recording
information
on
tablets,
helping
people
coming
in
with
questions
they
may
have.
It
was
really
kind
of
a
joyful
experience
frankly,
and
I
think
it
was
positive
in
many
ways.
E
A
lot
of
the
positivity
of
it
comes
from
the
interaction
that
you
have
people
who
are
getting
vaccinated
because,
particularly
for
their
first
shot
right,
the
sense
of
relief
and
and
the
helping
them
overcome
fears,
a
lot
of
people
are
obviously
very
afraid.
Initially,
it's
it's
just
a
very
gratifying
experience.
The
other
part
of
it
that
actually
is
really
gratifying
is
the
interaction
with
the
staff
and-
and
so
I
want
to.
E
I
want
to
shout
out
anna
skareshi,
you
know
greg
ike,
parker
christine
you
know
these
people
were
were
phenomenal
to
work
with,
still
are,
and
also
the
firefighter
paramedics
they
were.
They
were,
they
were
a
stitch.
Actually,
I
had
a
lot
of
fun
working
with
them
and
their
their
way
of
kind
of
doing
things.
It
was
just
a
very,
very
positive
experience,
so
I
feel
like
we
should
all
be
proud,
but
also
it's
not
over.
E
You
know.
The
analogy
I
like
to
think
of
with
covet
19
is:
is
a
forest
fire
analogy
where
I
think
we
put
out
a
lot
of
the
main
blaze,
but
I
think
if
you've
been
reading
recently,
it's
now
pretty
much
consensus
in
the
scientific
community
that
we're
going
to
be
living
with
this
virus
for
a
long
time
and
there
are
going
to
be
embers
that
are
going
to
flare
up
for
for
quite
a
while.
So
we're
going
to
have
to
kind
of
keep
the
keep
the
pressure
on.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
dr
gann,
and
thank
you
for
for
volunteering
mike.
Why
don't
why?
Don't
we
go
back
to
you
to
talk
just
a
little
about
mrc
and
again,
if
you've
heard
the
acronym
you're
like
okay,
you
never
really
said
what
mrc
is
mrc
is
the
medical
reserve
core
and
so
like?
When
did
we
start
to
adopt
the
mrc
and
how
many
folks
do
we
have
on
it,
and
you
know
what
other
roles
besides
the
role
dr
dan
played,
did
folks
play
in
that.
B
B
The
health
and
human
services
department
for
almost
13
years
pre-pandemic
we
had
in
a
tune
of
40
mrcs,
but
I
am
happy
to
announce
that
in
the
course
of
the
pandemic,
we
now
have
over
90
mrcs,
who
are
volunteering
their
time
who
have
helped.
As
I
mentioned
earlier,.
C
B
They
they
have
been
very
supportive
in
our
efforts.
They
have
contributed
immensely
in
the
way
that
we
have
responded
and
we
value
their
input.
We
value
their
effort.
We
value
everything
that
they've
got
to
the
table
and
mrcs
are
not
just
medically
inclined.
We
have
individuals
who
are
non-medical
as
well,
who
are
our
mrc's,
and
not
only
do
they
provide
these
things
that
I
I
mentioned.
B
B
So
they
have
just
been
tremendous
and
instrumental
in
our
response
and
and
I'm
hoping
that
we
can
get
more
volunteers,
there's
still
a
lot
of
work
to
be
done
and
we're
encouraging
people
to
to
apply
and
join
and
yeah.
A
D
A
They
were
complaining,
why
haven't
I
been
vaccinated
and
all
of
that,
but
but
once
they
were
registered
to
be
vaccinated,
the
experience
that
they
had
ike
with
you
and
your
staff
and
all
the
city
staff,
our
facility
staff,
our
firefighters
and
with
all
the
volunteers
from
cert
and
from
mers,
really
has
left
a
good
taste
in
in
people's
mouths
here
about
seeing
you
know
how
effective
this
community-
and
I
really
mean
community-
not
just
our
government
but
has
worked
in
getting
and
getting
everyone
vaccinated.
So
so
thank
you
to
to
everyone
for
that.
A
We're
we're
wrapping
up
now,
I'm
looking
at
the
questions.
We
didn't
get
any
questions
online
today,
but
I'm
looking
at
the
questions
that
came
in
from
folks-
and
I
think,
we've
answered
them,
but
real
quick
veena
had
asked
about
whether
the
city
will
have
vaccination
clinics
in
the
week
in
the
evening
and
weekend
hours
to
accommodate
those
who
can't
work
during
the
day
we
did
mention
earlier.
There's
one
coming
up
this
saturday,
correct
ike.
Why
don't
you
give
us
the
details?
Real,
quick.
B
Yeah,
absolutely
we
have
one
coming
up
this
saturday
from
11am
to
3pm.
We
are
going
to
be
working
in
collaboration
with
north
shore
to
host
an
event
at
eths.
Come
may
22nd
that
should
be
at
8am
through
1pm,
and
we
have
been
discussing
internally
to
have
even
an
event
for
those
who
cannot
make
it
during
the
day.
We
want
to
ensure
that
we
are
reaching
everyone
in
the
community
to
get
to
get
vaccinated,
and
these
are
the
efforts
that
we
are
and.
A
Reaching
people
where
they
are,
I
mean,
for
the
longest
time
it's
sort
of
been
well.
We
you
know
assume
you
can
come
in
the
middle
of
the
day,
but
many
people
work
and
everything
else
so
and
then
this
saturday's
event
fleetwood
jourdain
right.
Yes,
yes,
okay,
so
complete
with
judain,
you
said
from
11
to
3
p.m.
Correct!
A
Yes,
sir!
All
right
all
right!
So
if
you
haven't
been
vaccinated,
come
to
fleetwood
jourdain
and
so
that
that
takes
care
of
venus
question,
holly
asked
how
critical
is
it
that
I
received
my
second
dose
four
weeks
after
the
first
dose?
What
if
all
the
appointments
are
filled
up
and
I'm
able
to
get
my
second
dose
until
five
weeks
after
the
first?
Will
it
be
less
effective.
B
It'll
still
be
effective
and,
as
I
indicated
early
during
this
broadcast-
or
you
can
still
get
your
vaccinations-
your
second
dose
six
weeks
after
that
after
the
first
first
days.
But
it
is
strongly
encouraged
that
you
get
it
within
three
weeks
for
fisa
four
weeks
for
mojang
28
days
from
the
day
now
and
that's
what
is
strongly
recommended.
A
And
I
know
the
city's
done
a
good
job
within
a
couple
days
of
hitting
those
hitting
those
marks.
Raphael
asked:
is
it
possible
that
vaccinated
individuals
can
still
transmit
the
virus
to
others?
I
know
this
is
something
that
scientists
have
been
researching,
ike
and
yeah.
I
know
he
and
other
people
have
that
question.
So
yeah.
B
It
has
a
possibility
that
one
can
still
transmit
the
virus
even
after
being
fully
vaccinated.
You
also
have
to
keep
in
mind
that
the
vaccine
is
not
percent.
The
advocacy
is
not
a
hundred
percent
at
best
is
about
nineteen
ninety
five
percent,
and
that
might
be
an
opportunity
for
one
to
contract
or
transmit
that
the
provider.
So
there
are
some
opportunities
for
one
to
transmit
with
the
virus,
but
what
we
have
been
preaching
there
is
that
the
benefits
of
getting
vaccinated
definitely
outweigh
our
ways
of
risk.
A
B
What
we,
what
we've
been
encouraging
for
those
who've
gotten
vaccinated,
I'm
sure,
may
you
have
your
card.
B
I've
been
encouraging
people
to
save
those
cards
to
even
laminate
them,
so
that
you
can
you
use
that
because
I
think
they
will
get
to
a
point
where
even
with
travel,
they
will
want
to
know
if
you've
been
fully
vaccinated
if
they're,
traveling
abroad
and
elsewhere,
so
that
card
is,
is
important
for
us
to
keep
answer
the
question
about
if
they're
keeping
records,
yes,
idva
just
keep
keeping
records
of
people
who've
gotten
vaccinated
and
that's
how
we
are
able
to
receive
information
based
on
how
many
people
who've
been
vaccinated
in
illinois,
who
didn't
rely
solely
on
our
vaccination
clinics
to
get
vaccinated.
A
I
know
the
health
care
system,
I
had
a
doctor's
appointment
and
they,
the
doctor,
knew
everything
I
didn't
have
my
card
with
me
and
the
doctor
was
like.
Oh
yeah,
I
see
that
you've
gotten
your
two
vaccinations
and
everything.
So
again,
the
system
should
do
that.
Maintain
the
car
dr
gann
was
just
holding
up
his.
He
had
it
at
the
at
the
ready
and.
B
These
systems
are
protected
as
well,
so
I
don't
want
people
to
think
that
information
has
been
given
to
non-public
health
agencies.
The
information
it
is
kept
in
order
for
us
to
be
able
to
track,
monitor
and
schedule
doses.
A
So
I
just
want
everyone.
Thank
you
thank
you
for
for
emphasizing
that
and
lastly,
we
had
a
question
from
kamlesh
and
jerry
lots
of
people.
Have
this
question
ike?
Is
it
safe
to
go
to
the
gym
after
I've
been
fully
vaccinated?
A
Great,
thank
you.
Thank
you
mike
two
final
questions.
It's
the
same
question
for
two
of
our
guests
for
dr
hicks
and
dr
gann.
We'll
start
with
you
doc,
dr
hicks,
you
volunteered
you
volunteered!
You
weren't
paid
everything
else.
Why
did
you
do
it?
What
was
rewarding
about
this
experience?
For
you.
D
This
is
a
huge
public
health
emergency
I
mean,
and
you
know
the
city
needed
our
help
and
asked
for
our
help.
So
that's
that's
you
know.
One
reason
to
do
is
just
try
to
you
know.
Do
my
part
and
help
out
here.
It's
been
a
really
enjoyable
experience
for
a
lot
of
the
reasons
that
dr
gian
mentioned.
You
know
it's
really
fun
to
like
talk
to
people
at
the
clinics.
D
It's
been
as,
as
you
said,
you
know,
the
city
staff
is
amazing
and
great
it's
been
really
fun
to
work
with
them.
As
a
scientist,
I've
really
enjoyed
watching
like
how
every
pod
they've
kind
of
improved
things
a
little
bit
so
they'll,
be
like
some
kind
of
like
little
like
new
thing
that
they've
added
that
just
makes
everything
easier.
D
Like
you
know,
maybe
things
will
move
around
or,
like
you
know,
maybe
maybe
we
have
like
a
new
printer
or
like
a
new
computer,
so
it's
been
really
fun
watching
that
process
just
get
like
really
honed.
So
for
me,
that's
you
know
something.
That's
really
really
fun
to
watch
and
yeah,
and
just
you
know
getting
like
this
momentous
task
of
getting
everyone
vaccinated,
making
progress
in
that
like
for
me,
that's
huge,
that's
the
main
reason
I'm
doing
it
so
awesome.
D
E
Yeah
but
she
said
it
really
well
I
mean
you
know
it's
exactly
the
same
thing.
You
know
it's
it's
it's
it's
both.
E
It
feels
like
a
privilege,
as
well
as
a
responsibility
to
step
up
when
when
we
have
the
opportunity
and
for
some
of
us
you
know
like
myself,
you
know
I've
been
mainly
working
remotely
for
most
of
the
last
year,
and
so,
if
it
wasn't
for
that,
I
think
it
would
be
would
have
been
virtually
impossible
for
me
to
help
out,
but
it
otherwise
would
have
been
very
hard
to
just
sort
of
sit
at
home
and
and
see
this.
This
public
health
emergency
occur
and
not
not
help.
E
A
Agree
with
both
of
you
wholeheartedly
yesterday
for
the
first
time
I
think,
possibly
in
the
history
of
this
city.
I
awarded
that
a
mayor.
I
could
have
been
any
mayor,
but
I
happened
to
award
a
key
to
a
a
key
to
the
city
to
an
actual
department
within
the
city,
which
is
highly
highly
unusual.
A
But
the
moment
in
time
that
we're
living
in
right
now
is
highly
unusual,
and
so
I
was
really
really
proud
to
issue
five
keys
to
the
city
and
one
of
those
keys
to
the
evanston
health
and
human
services
department,
and
it
will
be
displayed
in
their
office
unless
it's
there
at
your
home
right
now,
I
can.
We
can
look
at
it
right
here.
It's
going
to
be
displayed
in
in
the
health
and
human
services
department,
and
it
was.
A
It
was
the
only
thing
I
could
think
of
that's
a
in
a
in
a
prominent
way.
You
know
offer
a
really
really
big.
Thank
you
to
the
incredible
amount
of
work
that
our
city
staff
led
by
ike,
ogbo
and
and
greg
and
anas
and
others
have
done.
It's
really
been
remarkable,
and
so
I
want
everybody
to
to
know
that,
and
I
I
will
at
this
point
sign
off.
I
don't
I
don't
know,
I
think.
A
If
something
heats
up,
you
know
there
could
be
a
future
coronavirus,
q
and
a,
but
this
could
also
potentially
be
less
coronavirus.
Q.
A
it
certainly
is
the
last
one
where
I
will
be
the
mayor.
It
has
been
a
fascinating
experience
and
a
privilege
to
be
the
mayor
of
one
of
the
best
urban
ring
cities
in
america.
I'm
super
proud
of
what
everybody
in
this
city
has
done
in
a
really
difficult
time.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
that
opportunity.
A
Thank
you
to
all
of
our
guests
today
and
let's
go
on
and
continue
to
keep
our
our
city
safe
and
equitable
and
prosperous,
as
we
come
out
of
this
this
tough
time.
Thank
you.
Everyone.
