Ohio opens online vaccine appointments

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine has announced that the Ohio Department of Health has opened online scheduling of vaccine appointments through a central scheduling tool and can be accessed by going to http://gettheshot.coronavirus.ohio.gov on a computer, smartphone, or tablet. The vaccine is currently available to people over 60 years.

“We are requiring providers to either schedule vaccines using this system or another electronic scheduling system that interfaces with this portal” said Governor Mike DeWine. 

“We believe this will streamline the scheduling process, reduce data lags, and provide real-time information on vaccination progress.”

Governor DeWine said this central scheduling tool will also be used for appointments for the mass vaccination clinics announced on Friday, “including the FEMA site in Cleveland, where we are anticipating up to 6,000 vaccines being given a day.”
