  • The latest news on COVID-19 numbers and hospitalizations
  • The safety of COVID-19 vaccines and how they work
  • Dispelling some of the common myths around COVID-19 vaccines and calming some nervousness in the community
  • Where we currently stand in the Ohio Department of Health’s plan for distribution, who is currently eligible, and how local health systems and organizations are collaborating to achieve our goals
  • The outlook for adding a third vaccine from Johnson & Johnson and what impact that might have
  • The effectiveness of the vaccines when considering mutations of the virus
  • The impact of vaccination efforts on the wearing of masks and social distancing and how we can achieve herd immunity
