Gov. Mike DeWine

The federal government says it will not ship any of the manufacturer's vaccines then, and Gov. Mike DeWine tells President Joe Biden that the vaccine has been popular in Ohio.

Children’s Hospital on Tuesday announced that vaccination clinics for kids 12 and up are open at its Akron and Boardman campuses; Governor Mike DeWine has signed into law a $465 million bill meant to help lower-income Ohioans pay for rent and mortgages; a new study at the Cleveland Clinic shows that the new technology behind the coronavirus vaccines is working well; and more stories.

The new law will help those who are unable to pay their rent, mortgage and utilities, with the goal of keeping them in their homes.

The governor says those who have received the shots shouldn't be subject to the same restrictions as those who haven't.

To boost the number of Ohioans who have received at least one dose of the shot from 4.6 million, or 36%, the state is thinking of ways to appeal to those who have yet to be vaccinated.

While case are plateauing, state leaders say they are concerned with a slowdown in the number of people being vaccinated.

The Democratic mayor of Dayton, a two-time candidate for the post, so far faces Republican opponent Joe Blystone, a business owner and farmer. Gov. Mike DeWine says he will run for re-election.

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

As COVID-19 cases continue to rise, DeWine reiterates the vaccine is key to pulling out of the pandemic.

The larger order keeps the foundational elements of mask wearing, hand washing and social distancing as means to control the spread of the coronavirus.
