AVON, OH — Ohio is expanding its COVID-19 vaccine program to people 60 and older and other vulnerable groups starting Thursday.

Ohioans who work in childcare services, law enforcement or funeral services will also receive the vaccine. Ohioans who are pregnant, in need of a bone marrow transplant, or have been diagnosed with ALS or Type 1 diabetes can also receive the vaccine.

With nearly 900,000 more Ohioans qualifying for the vaccine, demand for COVID-19 vaccine shots will be high.
