More than 360,000 people in Ohio have been vaccinated against COVID-19, Gov. Mike DeWine announced Thursday, Jan. 14.
That number represents about 72% of the vaccines the state has received from the federal government. We do not have enough vaccines in Ohio right now, but we hope our allotment will increase in the future, he added.
Those 80 years and older will be added to front line health care workers and congregate care staff and residents as Ohioans permitted to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. DeWine warned, however, that with more than 400,000 residents in that age bracket and only 100,000 vaccines available, the supply will be insufficient.
