Ohio expands COVID-19 vaccine eligibility to 40 and over, some others.
Ohio's eligibility for COVID-19 vaccines will expand this week to people 40 and older and those with additional medical conditions, including cancer and obesity, Gov. Mike DeWine announced at a news conference Tuesday morning in Cleveland.
And by the end of the month, all Ohioans 16 and older will be eligible to get the vaccine.
Eligibility starts Friday for about 766,000 Ohioans in Phase 1E, which includes those 16 and older with cancer, chronic kidney disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), heart disease and obesity.
Friday also marks the start of Phase 2C — those 40 and older, including about 818,000 Ohioans between age 40 and 49.
