Helpful Policies Implemented for Ohio Vaccine Providers

The Ohio Department of Health (ODH) has announced a number of policy changes that will make it much easier for primary care practices of all sizes to provide the COVID vaccine in their offices.

• Effective Monday, June 7, all enrolled COVID-19 vaccine providers will be required to directly order COVID-19 vaccine doses each week using the Vaccine Ordering Management System (VOMS). This change will allow practices to get vaccines shipped directly to their office.
  
  
• Learn more at the upcoming ODH webinar on Tuesday, June 8 at 2:00 pm to explain these changes and detail the process.
