Vaccinations for Phase 1D will begin on Thursday, March 11, 2021. This phase includes: • Individuals who have specified medical conditions that may increase their risk of severe illness and death from COVID19. The new qualifying conditions are not already covered through Ohio’s age-based approach to vaccine eligibility. • 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. MEDICAL CONDITIONS • People with type 2 diabetes under the age of 50. o This opens eligibility to approximately 172,000 Ohioans. • People with end-stage renal disease (also known as end-stage kidney disease) under the age of 50. o This opens eligibility to approximately 25,000 Ohioans. Phase 2A Vaccinations for Phase 2A began on March 4, extending age eligibility criteria to age 60 and older. Because the risk of more severe reactions and outcomes of COVID-19 increases with age, Phase 2A opened with vaccinations based on age. This opens eligibility to approximately 695,000 additional Ohioans. Eligible individuals can receive a vaccine from the provider of their choice. AGE ELIGIBILITY • Individuals age 60 and older. Individuals age 65 and older previously eligible under Phase 1B who have not yet received the vaccine remain eligible under Phase 2A. Phase 2B Vaccinations for Phase 2B will begin on Thursday, March 11, extending age eligibility criteria to age 50 and older. Because the risk of more severe reactions and outcomes of COVID-19 increases with age, Phase 2B is opening with vaccinations based on age, extending eligibility criteria to age 50 and older. This opens eligibility to approximately 1.2 million Ohioans. Eligible individuals can receive a vaccine from the provider of their choice. AGE ELIGIBILITY • Individuals age 50 and older. Individuals age 60 and older previously eligible under Phase 1B or Phase 2A who have not yet received the vaccine remain eligible under Phase 2B.
