Next in line for COVID-19 shots in Ohio: 55,000 K-12 teachers and staff
COLUMBUS – About 55,000 K-12 teachers and school staff will get their shot at a COVID-19 vaccine each week as Ohio manages a scarce supply.
The state must allocate doses to vaccinate the state s 334,000 K-12 teachers and staff while still offering shots to Ohio s oldest citizens. Adults age 70 and older can start receiving the vaccine next week.
“I know everyone wants to start next Monday,” Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine said during a Thursday news conference. “We simply do not have the supplies to do that.”
Teachers and staff at Middletown School District and Cincinnati Public Schools were first in line, receiving shots this week. Several hundred schools will have access to the COVID-19 vaccine next week.
