When Gov. JB Pritzker recently announced that state employees who work in congregate facilities would have to be vaccinated by Oct. 4, the largest state employee union, AFSCME, released a statement chiding the governor.

But Pritzker also said that about 80 percent of new COVID-19 cases in those congregate facilities "have been due to infection among employees."
