On Deck - Thursday, January 21, 2021

WCBU's On Deck has everything you need to know to start your day for Thursday, January 21, 2021. Our top story is about how as the Federal Correctional Institute in Pekin endures its second COVID-19 outbreak, the American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois is monitoring conditions at all prisons and jails. You'll also hear how overall demand for COVID-19 vaccinations is strong in the Peoria area, but that's not as true for the Black and Latin-X communities. Tim Shelley tells us it's an issue local public health officials are addressing on multiple levels in the quest to achieve herd immunity.
