The Ohio Department of Health says the vaccines are more than 95% in the real world.

The current rate is four times the rate needed to drop all public health orders, according to the governor.

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine and health officials from across the state urged Ohioans Tuesday to continue signing up for Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccine appointments, following a recommendation by federal agencies to temporarily pause administration of the Johnson & Johnson shot.

Ohio is seeing an increase in the rate of new COVID-19 cases due to the spread of a variant. But health officials say there's encouraging data when it comes to the effectiveness of the vaccine.

Ohio is issuing a new, streamlined health order that encompasses its guidance on mass gatherings and other COVID-19 restrictions. Gov. Mike DeWine announced the new order at a press conference Monday, calling it a return to "basics."

Governor Mike DeWine says focusing specifically on this younger population and catering to college students on campus will decrease spread.

Eleven additional sites are expected to open next week as Ohio continues to push vaccination to fight COVID-19.

Coronavirus vaccinations will expand to include Ohio residents over 50 years of age, those with Type 2 diabetes and those with end-stage renal disease starting Thursday, Gov. Mike DeWine announced Monday.

Gov. Mike DeWine says he’ll lift the mask mandates and other health orders when Ohio’s coronavirus cases drop to 50 cases per 100,000 Ohioans over a two-week period. But why was that metric chosen and how is it being determined?

Ohio’s current COVID-19 hospitalizations and average new case numbers continued a downward slide on Thursday as more people receive vaccinations against the coronavirus.
