“It was extremely successful in the first week [of Vax-a-Million]. What it accomplished in the first week made it a success. The second week was a good week as well...but clearly, the impact went down after the second week,” Gov. DeWine said in a press conference Wednesday. As of Wednesday, 47 percent of Ohioans have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccines, lower than the national average of 55 percent. To further encourage vaccinations after the lottery concludes Wednesday, DeWine has hinted that additional statewide incentives, including prizes from Ohio businesses, could be announced soon. While these offers could work, Hoffman said smaller-scale incentives might be a better strategy going forward. Companies could offer their employees free parking or gift cards for getting the vaccine, she said.
