COVID-19 vaccines decreasing statewide — how about in Ashland County?

Ashland Times Gazette ASHLAND As COVID-19 vaccine rates have steadily decreased in Ohio, Ashland County health officials say they are seeing a slower decline in vaccination rates.  Vaccination rates nationwide have decreased as more people are getting the shots, though there s a swath of the population that is hesitant to get COVID vaccines. Some of that hesitation came from the pause of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine after reports of six cases of a rare and severe type of blood clot was found in individuals who took it.  Despite the pause, people have been eager to get the Johnson & Johnson vaccine at local COVID-19 clinics, said Mark Rafeld, director of the Ashland County Emergency Management Agency. 

Local health departments take targeted approach to reach unvaccinated

Local hospitals and health departments are changing tactics to reach those still unvaccinated. “The days of the large COVID clinics are coming to an end,” said Nick Cascarelli, Wayne County health commissioner. As fewer people book vaccine appointments, health departments in Ashland, Wayne, and Holmes counties are transitioning to more walk-in clinics and pulling back on vaccine orders.  Supply is no longer the issue to getting more people vaccinated. “It’s not an availability issue,” said Shirley Bixby, nursing director at the Ashland County Health Department. “I think the entire state is seeing saturation” of vaccine doses. Local health agencies also are holding private clinics for businesses to vaccinate their employees and reaching out to schools to administer vaccines to students as younger age groups become eligible.
