website will streamline the process, reduce data lags, and provide real-time
information on vaccination progress across the state," said Governor DeWine.

providers to integrate their current systems into the statewide system.
Providers will be expected to use this system or another electronic
scheduling system that interfaces with this portal.

The centralized scheduling website will also be used for scheduling
appointments at the

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
