Pharm D Canidate Nicole Caser gets instruction from Professor of Pharmacy Practive Karen Kier to do a vaccine on Carol Carpenter of Cincinatti before her vaccine during the clinic held earlier this year at Ohio Northern University in Ada.

LIMA Sixty-three percent of Allen County adults over 80 years-old have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccines since Ohio’s vaccination effort started in December. But the pace of vaccinations among the oldest seniors has slowed in recent weeks, suggesting that many seniors are either wary of the vaccines or have been crowded out by a registration system that exists largely online and is difficult to navigate for those with unreliable internet access or transportation.
