54 people have died from coronavirus in the past 24 hours, ODH reported. Since the beginning of the pandemic, 11,175 people have died from coronavirus.
Starting tomorrow, Ohioans over 70 and employees of K-12 schools who wish to remain or return to in-person or hybrid models are eligible to get vaccinated. In the past 24 hours, 35,114 Ohioans have been vaccinated.
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.
Every state is distributing the vaccine differently, which might be confusing people who watch the national news, said Amy Rohling McGee, president of the Health Policy Institute of Ohio.
