LISBON On the day when Moderna’s vaccine was approved for emergency use, Gov. Mike DeWine spent much of the day visiting several nursing homes where residents and staff were getting their first dose of Pfizer’s vaccine.
During an interview with representatives from Ogden Newspapers later in the day, DeWine said there are not enough vaccines yet to go around and it is uncertain how fast those vaccines will arrive. There also could be more vaccines approved in the future.
“The good news is we have a vaccine, the bad news is we don’t have enough,” DeWine said. “My hope is we are going to see more drug companies producing more. My hope is that Pfizer’s production is going to go up, Moderna’s production is going to continue to go up and we also have other companies that are in different stages.”
