COVID-19 in Ohio: More delays due to slowdown in vaccine supply

 

Current data shows a disproportionate burden of illness and death among racially and ethnically diverse groups caused by COVID-19. According to The Ohio Department of Health, African Americans make up 14 percent of Ohio’s population, but represent 26 percent of positive COVID-19 cases. African Americans also represent 31 percent of COVID-19 hospitalizations and 17 percent of COVID-19 deaths in Ohio.

Unfortunately, the disparity is likely to remain given the latest developments in Ohio regarding the dissemination of the COVID vaccine. Ohio isn’t expected to see a ramp-up in vaccine doses until March when Johnson & Johnson’s one-shot vaccine could be approved for widespread use. Until then, Ohio will continue to roll out vaccines to the 2.2 million Ohioans in group 1B, which includes adults over 65, those with severe medical disorders that make them vulnerable and K-12 teachers and staff so schools can reopen in-person classes by March 1.

The following information will assist in determining where and when you can get your COVID vaccination.

A new state website shows 757 locations where Ohioans age 80 and older can get a COVID-19 vaccine starting next week.
The website, vaccine.coronavirus.ohio.gov, lists providers by county and ZIP code. Each provider has its own process for scheduling appointments, and the Ohio Department of Health recommends people call the provider or visit its website in advance to make sure it is currently administering shots.
More: Ohio doesn’t have a statewide COVID-19 vaccine waitlist. But some local health departments do.
