Ohio plans to begin vaccinating Ohioans age 80 and older beginning on Jan. 19 as it unrolls its second phase of COVID-19 vaccinations, Gov. Mike DeWine said Thursday.
The state expects only 100,000 doses of vaccine will be available each week and with up to 450,000 Ohioans age 80 and older, with DeWine cautioning it will take time to get needles in the arms of those eligible.
Each succeeding week will make another age group, such as 75 and more and then 70 and more and so on, eligible for vaccines to be administered by those among 1,700 registered providers that receive doses, DeWine said.
Vaccinations will be offered beginning the week of Feb. 1 to school teachers and employees in districts willing to commit to in-person classes for students beginning March 1, the governor said.
