Chicago Department of Public Health Commissioner Allison Arwady addresses aldermen on Thursday.

Aldermen tore into Chicago Department of Public Health Comm. Allison Arwady on Thursday, saying city health officials were doing enough to work with ward offices in getting COVID-19 vaccinations out to their areas of the city. 

Arwady addressed aldermen during the City Council Committee on Health and Human Relations meeting to provide an update on how the city is responding to the pandemic. The health commissioner’s testimony came as the city sees an uptick in COVID-19 cases and as the city prepares to widen vaccinations to people eligible under Phase 1C.
