Phases include:
Phase 1C – Includes individuals with certain occupations and with certain medical conditions not addressed in previous phases.
This phase will focus on:

- Ohioans who work in certain occupations, including childcare services, funeral services, and law enforcement and correction services.
- Eligible individuals can receive a vaccine from the provider of their choice. Individuals may be asked to confirm during the registration or screening process that they are eligible to receive the vaccine based on a qualifying medical condition or based on their occupation.
Phase 2 – This phase will begin with Mahoning County residents ages 60 and older. More information on Phase 2 can be found at the following link.
Eligible individuals can receive a vaccine from the provider of their choice. Approved COVID vaccine providers can be found on the Ohio Department of Health website.
