The funding is part of the CDC’s initiative to make access to vaccines more equitable and reach underserved populations, stemming from the American Rescue Plan’s $3 billion allocation for vaccine distribution efforts.
As of Monday, nearly 70 percent of people ages 65 and older in Ohio have received at least their first dose, a figure that hasn’t moved much in the last week and a half.
