COLUMBUS, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine provided the following updates this week on Ohio’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Weather Delay Update
Due to last week’s winter weather, the delivery of some Pfizer vaccines and all Moderna vaccines were delayed. Some providers used second doses that they had already received to avoid clinic cancelations. Those second doses will be backfilled with the shipments they receive this week.
Additional delayed shipments of Pfizer and Moderna arrived between Tuesday and Wednesday.
For providers who canceled appointments last week, Gov. DeWine is urging them to expand their appointment schedules to include evening and weekend hours to catch up.
