Ohio hospitals could easily ramp up for mass vaccinations, DeWine says By Laura Hancock - Advance Ohio Media, Cleveland (TNS) COLUMBUS, Ohio — Many large hospital systems — including Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals and MetroHealth — are nowhere close to capacity in the number of Ohioans they could vaccinate if there were enough shots available, Gov. Mike DeWine said Monday afternoon. “There’s a tremendous ability to ramp up what we already have,” DeWine said during a coronavirus briefing, in response to a question about preparations for potential mass vaccinations. In fact, many of the larger hospital systems and other facilities have the ability to offer “what some people would call mass vaccination sites,” DeWine said, using an example of a Sunday clinic at Thurgood Marshall High School in Dayton, where Kroger, the city of Dayton, Public Health-Dayton & Montgomery County and the Ohio Department of Health gave 1,592 people shots.
Experts: Test for these toxins regularly if your drinking water comes from a well Ismail Turay Jr. Most water from the region’s large underground aquifer is safe to drink untreated, but homeowners might not always be aware of all the potential contaminants, including “forever chemicals” that do not have a color, taste or smell. Such was the case recently in Butler Twp., Montgomery County, when Earl Moyer and some of his neighbors said they learned about the chemicals known as PFAS for the first time after high levels were detected at nearby Aullwood Audubon Farm Discovery Center in October. Health officials sent letters to 180 homeowners nearby, urging them to test their wells for PFAS.
Scarce national vaccine supply leads to frustration as local residents scramble to get shots Jordan Laird Getting a coronavirus vaccine in Ohio can feel like a frustrating free-for-all for Dayton-area residents and experts say the distribution system is not likely to change drastically any time soon. Vaccine supply is likely to remain scarce for weeks or months at a national level, thus supply is scarce in Ohio. That means vaccine appointments go fast and not every eligible Ohioan can get the shot as soon as they’d like, though local providers are getting their limited allotments out within a week of receipt.
