Ohio on track for all adults to be vaccine-eligible by May 1, children will have to wait Jordan Laird Ohio is on track to offer the coronavirus vaccine to all adults by May 1, in accordance with President Joe Biden’s plan, state and local officials said Friday. “We’re going to move forward, make it available as quickly as we can,” DeWine said Friday morning while visiting a vaccination clinic in Cincinnati. Currently, Ohioans 50 and older and those with qualifying health conditions and occupations are eligible to receive the coronavirus vaccine. DeWine said Thursday afternoon that the state likely will continue expanding eligibility for the vaccine by age group or health condition before every adult becomes eligible. He did not specify a date when all residents would become eligible.
