Ohio online vaccine scheduling tool still 2-3 weeks away
Associated PressCOLUMBUS, Ohio — The rollout of an online vaccine appointment scheduling tool is still two to three weeks away as the state recruits providers such as pharmacies, hospitals, health clinics and others to participate, Ohio Gov. As of Tuesday, more than 1.3 million Ohioans, or about 11% of the population, had received at least the first dose of the coronavirus vaccine, according to health department data. The new attempt, a Senate bill scheduled for a possible committee vote Wednesday, would rescind executive actions taken by a governor or the state health department through a concurrent resolution, which requires a simple majority from the House and Senate. We cannot declare victory,” the governor said, adding: “So, this is not the time for us to be cutting our authority or the health department’s authority.” The seven-day rolling average of daily new cases in Ohio did not increase over the past two weeks, going from 4,346 new cases per day on Feb. 1 to 2,732 new cases per day on Feb. 15, according to an Associated Press analysis of data provided The COVID Tracking Project.
