COLUMBUS (WCMH) — The Ohio Department of Health is scheduled to release updated COVID-19 vaccination numbers at 2 p.m. Friday.
As of Thursday, March 4, a total of 1,803,091 people — or 15.43% of the state’s population — had started the vaccination process, up 44,352 from the previous day. A total of 984,471 — or 8.42% of the population — had finished vaccination, up 21,936 from the previous day.
As the vaccination program ramps up this week, Gov. Mike DeWine on Thursday laid out the path for how he will allow health orders put in place in response to the coronavirus pandemic to expire. He said they will end once the state achieves a rate of 50 cases of 100,000 people over two weeks.
Ohio is in Phase 1C and Phase 2 of its vaccination plan.
Here is who is eligible for the vaccine under Phase 1C:
Under Phase 2, those 60 and older are eligible.
DeWine has said the state remains in the process of developing a central online scheduling portal. Until then, there are many providers offering vaccinations. Below is a list compiled by NBC4 Investigates' Jamie Ostroff, with links where available:
Those who were eligible under Phase 1B as having certain medical conditions can still register for a vaccine, too.
