PUTNAM COUNTY, Ohio COVID-19 vaccine distribution is moving as fast as it s able to go across Ohio, but it s moving the fastest in Putnam County.
While the county is smaller, nearly 16% of their population has received the vaccine.
Putnam County Health Commissioner Kim Rieman says some of it has to do with where people work. Some of that we cannot take all of the credit for, we have a good portion of healthcare providers that live in our community but actually provide health care in a hospital in maybe a surrounding county, said Rieman.

Anderson is the president and chief executive officer of the New Jersey Redevelopment Authority the first and only African-American woman in the nation to lead an independent redevelopment financing agency, and thanks to her effectiveness she has been reappointed to this position by four consecutive governors. Since Anderson took over more than a decade ago, the authority has leveraged nearly $4 billion in new investments – including about $500 million in direct investments – in some of the state’s most economically distressed communities. That funding has been vital to redevelopment efforts around New Jersey, with the authority claiming credit for 15,000 new housing units and more than 10 million square feet of commercial and retail space. And the authority is now poised to play a significant role in the Opportunity Zone program.

Ciccocioppo said that the problem became evident when there was a much higher amount of second doses being requested from providers than what would be allocated by the federal government. The misadministration of doses has been happening over the past few weeks, he said
