DeWine said that 361,000 people in the state have received at least the first dose of one of the two-step vaccines from manufacturers Pfizer and Moderna.

On Friday, the state launched a website showing all 750 vaccine distribution sites that will be open starting next week, when the state will begin the next phase of its vaccination program, making it available to residents 80 and older8

Although there are 425,000 Ohioans who are 80 and older, DeWine said the state expects to receive only about 100,000 doses for distribution next week.

The state plans to expand the vaccine offering to those 75 and older the following week, then those 70 and older on Feb.

DeWine said that over time, vaccine production should increase, and additional manufacturers may receive approval for their vaccines, leading to increased availability in the state and distribution at more and larger facilities.

DeWine said the state is offering the vaccine to those 65 and older in the next phase because they have accounted for 87% of the deaths from COVID-19.

In an announcement released Monday, OhioHealth said the vaccines will begin at 9 a.m.
