Law enforcement officers are not on a list of those who will be getting the COVID-19 vaccination anytime soon.
On Wednesday, several police chiefs learned the Ohio Department of Health determined law enforcement officers did not qualify for the Center for Disease Control s Phase 1 A vaccinations.
When Ohio received its first doses of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, it was announced that emergency medical responders, health care workers and those caring for COVID-19 patients would be first in line to receive the vaccine.
