Ohio s Amish suffered a lot from Covid, but vaccines are still a hard sell

Ohio’s Amish suffered a lot from Covid, but vaccines are still a hard sell The Amish communities of northeastern Ohio engage in textbook communal living. Families eat, work and go to church together, and through the pandemic, mask-wearing and physical distancing have been spotty. That has meant that these communities bore a high rate of infection and death. Despite this, health officials are struggling to encourage residents to get vaccinated against Covid-19. Holmes County, where half the population is Amish, has the lowest vaccination rate in Ohio, with just 10% of the population fully vaccinated. About less than a percent [of Amish] are coming in, said Holmes County health commissioner Michael Derr.
