Скачать или смотреть Vax-a-Million increases Ohio's vaccination rate by 45% according to Gov. Mike DeWine

With the Vax-a-Million on everyone's minds, Gov. Mike DeWine was back in front of the cameras on Friday as he toured one of the state's COVID-19 vaccination sites.

DeWine visited the COVID-19 vaccination clinic at the Cincinnati African American Chamber of Commerce, then spoke with the media afterwards.

The governor's visit to Cincinnati comes as his COVID lottery vaccine incentive seems to be working to get more Ohioans vaccinated. Health officials say the state's vaccination rates are growing as the first $1 million Vax-a-Million drawing quickly approaches.

According to DeWine, the state is reporting that 46,000 Ohioans had received their first doses of the vaccine in the last 24 hours. "It's been a long time since we've seen over 40,000," noted the governor, who added that not all of the vaccinations had occurred in the past day.

DeWine also reported that Ohio has seen a 45% increase in its vaccination rate in the period between May 14-19 as compared to the previous week.

"Since we came out with the Vax-a-Million, we've seen a dramatic change in the number of people getting vaccinated in Ohio," said DeWine. "Quite candidly, the numbers had taken a significant drop when the Johnson & Johnson vaccine was taken off of the market."
