AVON, OH — Ohio expanded COVID-19 vaccine eligibility to anyone 16 and older on Monday.

Gov. Mike DeWine said vaccine shipments into Ohio are expected to increase this week and for several subsequent weeks. He said the state has a "moral imperative" to vaccinate as many people as possible, as quickly as possible.

"There is an imperative that shots not sit anyplace. We must get them taken up as quickly as possible," DeWine said.

Ohioans who are 16 or 17-years-old can only receive the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine due to FDA restrictions.

To facilitate vaccine distribution, Ohio has launched its first statewide vaccine registration tool, which can be accessed online. Lorain County residents can also try and book an appointment through the county health department website.
