Phase 1B Vaccination Update (1-7-2021)

During his press conference on January 7, 2021, Governor Dewine announced plans for additional vaccine allocations targeted for vaccination of Phase 1B population groups as determined by the Ohio Department of Health (ODH).
 

​

​

​

Phase 1B population groups are defined as:

​

• individuals 80 and older

• individuals 75 and older

• individuals 70 and older

• individuals 65 and older

• individuals with severe, congenital, developmental and early onset medical disorders

• K-12 school teachers and staff - only for schools which elect to be in-person or offer a hybrid model by March 1.

The following information is a synopsis of Phase 1B vaccine allocation:

The Ohio Department of Health anticipates rollout to begin the week of January 18.

​

Allocation of Phase 1B vaccine is planned for multiple enrolled vaccine providers such as health departments, hospitals, Federally Qualified Healthcare Centers, primary care practitioners, and pharmacies. The exact distribution has not been determined and providers will be phased in as vaccine supply increases.
 

Based on the existing vaccine supply constraints (ODH currently receives approximately 100,000 doses per week), Phase 1A and 1B vaccinations may span multiple months.

​

​

Vaccine allocation for Phase 1B populations will begin as follows:

​

• Week of January 18: individuals age 80 and older

• Week of January 25: individuals age 75 and older

• Week of February 1: individuals age 70 and older

• Week of February 8: individuals age 65 and older

• Week of January 25: individuals with severe, congenital, developmental and early onset medical disorders

• Week of February 1: K-12 school teachers and staff only for schools which elect to be in-person or offer a hybrid model by March 1

PCPH will provide information about vaccinating Phase 1B individuals who live or work in Preble County in the near future.

There is no waiting list or registration at this time. PCPH will notify the public when Phase 1B begins through local news media, our social media platforms including Facebook, Twitter and Instagram @PrebleCoHealth and our website preblecountyhealth.org/vaccine.
 

PCPH asks for patience as we continue to work through vaccinating the Phase 1A & 1B priority groups.
