13. Mayor’s Comments. The Mayor was very excited to announce that West Chicago would
be receiving 2100 more doses of Covid-19 vaccinations through Jewel-Osco. He got the call
last Tuesday at 10:40 am and by 1:30 pm, he was at a hangar at the DuPage Airport. With him
were the director of the airport, and members of the Police and the Public Works Department.
They developed a plan to facilitate this clinic on March 3, 2021. The Mayor praised the City’s
great partners and Public Works Director Rob Flatter for his design, which will allow excellent
flow. The Mayor said if people do not show up, the left over vaccine is thrown out. Rather than
see that happen, the Mayor requested that people get on the waitlist.
