Today is the start of vaccinating Ohioans at least 80 years old though there aren’t nearly enough doses this week to give to even 25 percent of that age group.
With a limited amount of vaccines available and high demand, there have been issues for some calling health departments, hospitals and other medical facilities as well as pharmacies to register.
Mahoning County is supposed to get 3,075 first-dose vaccines and Trumbull County is to receive 2,300 doses this week. Two doses of the vaccination, about three to four weeks apart, are needed.
Mercy Health will start giving the vaccines today at its primary care centers in North Lima, Youngstown and Howland, said Dr. James Kravec, its chief clinical director. Before getting a vaccination, a date for a second dose will be scheduled, he said.
