Ohio should receive 420,000 COVID-19 vaccines by Christmas, Gov. Mike DeWine said during a Tuesday news conference.
That includes 130,000 additional doses from Pfizer and an expected 123,000 from Moderna next week, DeWine said. We will continue to get vaccines the rest of the month, he said.
Local health departments, he added, should start receiving vaccines next week.
The Pfizer vaccine is the only one to so far receive emergency approval from the Food and Drug Administration. The vaccine from Massachusetts-based Moderna is expected to be approved in the coming days as well.
As the first coronavirus vaccines arrived at OhioHealth s Riverside Methodist Hospital on Tuesday, Lt. Gov. Jon Husted made a plea for health care workers and the public to get the shot as it becomes available.
