COLUMBUS – The number of Ohioans getting COVID-19 vaccines has slowed in recent weeks, leaving leaders concerned about unvaccinated residents spreading the disease. Unvaccinated Ohioans simply lack the same protection against the virus, Ohio s chief medical officer Dr. Bruce Vanderhoff said. If you re counting on herd immunity to cover you, you really can t count on it yet.
To date, 38% of Ohioans have received their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, and 27.5% of the state s population was fully vaccinated, according to Ohio Department of Health data. Many more Ohioans would need to get vaccines to achieve herd immunity, which is likely closer to 70% to 90% of the population.
