An individual is considered fully vaccinated two weeks after their second dose of the Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccines or two weeks after the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Homebound vaccination plan
<\/strong>The Ohio Department of Aging and Ohio Department of Health have developed a homebound vaccination playbook for organizations working to ensure homebound individuals have access to the vaccine. By utilizing existing Rapid Response Teams, Ohio can deliver the vaccine where it is needed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That playbook is available on the coronavirus website at coronavirus.ohio.gov<\/a>. If you are a homebound individual or know a homebound individual who would like a vaccine, please contact the Area Agency on Aging at 1-866-243-5678.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lt. Governor, who also serves as Director of the Governor’s Office of Workforce Transformation, made various stops in and around the Cincinnati region today in recognition of In-Demand Jobs Week. The visits worked to promote the state’s efforts to champion career, technical, and vocational education while highlighting both in-demand and critical jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
