Roughly 48% of Illinois' population 12 years and older has been fully vaccinated and nearly 60% has received at least one dose, according to new data released by the Illinois Department of Public Health Saturday.

For the first time, the health department's vaccination statistics are broken down by age group for those 12-plus, 18-plus, and 65 and older.

About 52% of the state's 18-plus population is fully vaccinated, and nearly 63% have received at least one dose. Among the 65 and older group, 75% are fully vaccinated and 83% have received at least one dose.

The health department also reported 538 new confirmed and probable cases of coronavirus disease, including 32 additional deaths.

The deaths included 16 people in Cook County, one in Kane County, one in Lake County, one in McHenry County and two in Will County.

On Friday, 55,505 doses of COVID-19 vaccine were reported administered, well above the seven-day rolling average of 36,130 doses.
