Across Ohio, 2,730,835 people — or 23.36% of the population — have taken at least one shot of an authorized vaccine; 1,565.614 people have completed that process (one or two shots depending on the vaccine). That represents 13.39% of Ohioans.
A small portion of those represent shot takers whose residency was not reported or who are residents of other states.
Currently, over 83,000 people join in that first set of numbers each day.
