Ohio Department of Health Director Bruce Vanderhoff, MD, MBA today announced that vaccination data for the age group 0-4 years will be included on its COVID-19 Vaccination Dashboard and COVID-19 Vaccination Rate by Key Age Groups dashboard beginning today. Both dashboards include the latest data reported to ODH regarding the number of individuals who have started and completed their COVID-19 vaccination series, and who have received additional or booster doses.
Earlier this month, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention approved and recommended the Pfizer vaccine for ages 6 months through 4 years old and the Moderna vaccine for ages 6 months through 5 years old.
Ohio providers began receiving the first shipments of vaccine doses on June 20.
The Moderna vaccine is a two-dose primary series, and the Pfizer vaccine is a three-dose primary series for children in this age group. Once the vaccine recipient has completed the primary series and is considered fully vaccinated, it will be reported under the Vaccine Completed menu on the dashboard.
The COVID-19 dashboards located at coronavirus.ohio.gov/dashboards/overview are updated each Thursday.
