COLUMBUS, Ohio The COVID-19 vaccine has finally arrived in Ohio.
This week, health care workers and staff and residents in long-term care facilities were among the first to receive them.
They’re among those listed in Phase 1A of Gov. Mike DeWine’s guidelines on the rollout of the vaccine distribution.
