Gov. J.B. Pritzker is making a push for southern Illinoisans to get vaccinated against COVID-19 and he’s offering incentives, including free shooting targets.

Pritzker traveled to Sparta on Tuesday to announce a new mobile vaccination site at the Worldwide Shooting and Recreation complex. The site will be operated by the Illinois National Guard in coordination with the Randolph County health department and will be open for walk-ins on May 14 and May 15. The WSRC mobile site will offer the one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
