Side effects of COVID-19 vaccine prompt lawyer Condell Medical Center to temporarily suspend vaccinations; vaccinations at other locations in Illinois, Wisconsin are continuing

LIBERTYVILLE, Ill. (WLS) – Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville has suspended COVID-19 vaccinations after some health workers reported reactions to the shots.

Four employees experienced side effects – including tingling and an increased heart rate – shortly after vaccination, according to a statement from lawyer Aurora Health.

“These four team members represent less than 0.15% of the approximately 3,000 who have received vaccinations so far at Advocate Aurora Health. At this point, we can share that three team members are at home and doing well, and one is receiving additional treatment,” Aurora Health attorney said in a statement.
