PUTNAM COUNTY, Ohio — COVID-19 vaccine distribution is moving as fast as it's able to go across Ohio, but it's moving the fastest in Putnam County.
While the county is smaller, nearly 16% of their population has received the vaccine.
Putnam County Health Commissioner Kim Rieman says some of it has to do with where people work.
"Some of that we cannot take all of the credit for, we have a good portion of healthcare providers that live in our community but actually provide health care in a hospital in maybe a surrounding county," said Rieman.
