About 60 percent of nursing home staff in Ohio have elected not to take the COVID-19 vaccine, Gov. Mike DeWine (R) said Wednesday.
DeWine made the comment during a news briefing in which he was discussing the pace of vaccinations in the state.
The governor said he was not satisfied with the pace of vaccinations in the state.
“I’m not satisfied with where we are in Ohio,” DeWine said. “We’re not moving fast enough, but we’re going to get there, and we’re going to speed this thing up.”
DeWine said that nursing homes all get three visits for the vaccine. After the initial dose, those who received it will be given a second shot on the follow-up, and others who had not received their first shot will still get inoculated.
The third visit will be to complete vaccinations for those who received an initial dose.
“We’re not going to make them, but we wish we had a higher compliance,” DeWine said. “And our message today is, [the] train may not be coming back for a while.”
The governor said the state’s goal is to get the vaccine out as quickly as possible and is asking hospitals to administer doses within 24 hours of receiving them.
Ohio has only used 14.3 percent of its vaccine allotment as of Dec. 21, The Columbus Dispatch reported, citing data from Bloomberg. The relatively slow pace comes as the U.S. is experiencing a lag between the number of vaccines distributed and the number administered.
Moncef Slaoui, the head of Operation Warp Speed, recognized on Wednesday that the number of doses administered had been lower than what the Trump administration is aiming for.
The administration had previously touted that 20 million people would receive vaccinations by the end of the year.
Good for them. Obviously, the nurses were doing their homework. It would be nice, if the governor followed suit. If he bothered to get all the information about the coronavirus and the vaccines, this foolishness would stop.
The “governors:” are under the direct control of their corporate masters and will continue the lies and tyranny until we the people stop it.
People should not be required to be vaccinated, however they should be removed from the settings as mentioned above, to protect those who might be at risk if they get Covid 19. Call it a temporary furlough.

Listen up you communist son of a bitch, people cannot be injected, removed, or furloughed in violation of the f-king law. It is called procedural due process. You will find it in the Bill of Rights, which is absolute ratified law. And to suggest violating it is a crime that will get you tried, convicted, and furloughed to a gallows.
I don’t give a f-k what your reasoning is, you cannot violate my rights as they are written ratified law that can never be changed, but you can be hung for f-king trying to.
what I want to know is what per cent will NOT inject it into another
