COLUMBUS Ohio Governor Mike DeWine, Lt. Governor Jon Husted, and Ohio Department of Health Chief Medical Officer Dr. Bruce Vanderhoff provided the following updates Tuesday on Ohio’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Vaccination phases
Governor DeWine today recapped Phases 1A and 1B of Ohio’s vaccine distribution plan. Because the availability of the vaccine remains limited in Ohio and across the country, Ohio is taking a phased approach that prioritizes the most vulnerable citizens, those in the healthcare field, and school staff members.
Phase 1A, which is currently underway, includes approximately 1 million Ohioans.
It is anticipated that vaccine distribution in Phase 1B will begin as Phase 1A begins to wind down.

XENIA For One Bistro, one of the business’ first challenges for 2020 wasn’t COVID related.
It was about its chef who had shoulder issues. As a direct result, extensive surgery was required and he ended up being off longer than his fellow staff had anticipated. That forced One Bistro, a non-profit which has a pay what you can and pay it forward concept, to close for three weeks.

âIt is critical we use every tool possible to ensure older Ohioans have the healthiest possible environment in these facilities,â said Ohio Department of Aging Director Ursel McElroy. âThis program will contribute to that goal, and I am most grateful.â
