"This Humboldt Park hospital served as the backdrop for a city press briefing that highlighted health-care workers receiving second COVID-19 vaccine doses. City officials are prioritizing frontline staff at safety-net hospitals that serve vulnerable populations and have expanded eligibility to include hospital support personnel such as food-service workers.
