Top staff to Governor J.B. Pritzker (D-IL) are planning secret post-election preparations to force every child in the state of Illinois to receive a COVID-19 vaccination, or else they will be barred from attending school.
According to the internal emails from the Illinois Department of Public Health obtained by Wood House Substack, Pritzker is allegedly considering including the COVID shot in the school vaccination program.
It can be recalled that the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) voted to recommend COVID-19 vaccines to be included in the 2023 childhood immunization schedule in 15 unanimous votes.
Following the CDC committee recommendation, Illinois state representative Dagmara Avelar’s office sent an email on October 25th after she received feedback from constituents.
“There’s no response from IDPH to Avelar’s office in the set of partially-redacted emails I obtained. There is, however, some back and forth between the IDPH staff about the membership of and meeting schedule for the Immunization Advisory Committee (IAC). That group would have to recommend the vaccine be added to the school schedule before the rest of the process moves forward,” the substack added.
“On October 27th, a few hours after Pritzker put the onus for school shots on lawmakers, a question from the Governor’s Office was raised in an email thread between IDPH staff,” Wood House wrote.
Deputy director Shannon Lightner wrote, “From the GO [Governor’s Office]: To add immunizations, do we have to go through the Committee and have three hearings?”
Heidi Clark, Division Chief of Infectious Diseases, responded, “That seems to be the case. First, IAC then after IAC makes recommendations, SBOH conducts three public hearings geographically distributed throughout the state, and then SBOH develops a report with recommendations to Director. Director then takes their recommendations into consideration to move forward with rules. No statutory changes are necessary, which is a plus, but those meetings would be pretty rough, I’m sure…”
