More than 11,000 State of Ohio employees -- 22% of the state’s workforce -- will be paid $300 bonuses because at least 65% of their co-workers attested to getting coronavirus vaccinations, according to data released Wednesday.
Under an incentive program set up by Gov. Mike DeWine’s office, 37 of 56 participating state agencies, boards, and commissions met the threshold to have at least 65% of their workers sign forms attesting that they have received least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, according to Melissa Vince, a spokeswoman for the Ohio Department of Administrative Services.
Not surprisingly, agencies with smaller staffs were more likely to meet the 65% threshold. The only state agency with a 100% participation rate was the State Employee Relations Board -- which has 20 people on its payroll, according to OhioCheckbook.com.
Vince noted that that that number is only the number of workers who submitted a form to get the bonus. The number of state employees who are actually vaccinated, she stated, is likely higher.
For example, only 28.5% of the approximately 11,500 staffers at the state’s prisons agency, the Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, submitted forms to get the bonus, state data shows.

They “attested” to receiving a shot….signed a form.
I had my ‘annual’ regular flu shot on Monday.
I had one last year as well, plus a pneumonia shot when I was in the hospital.
Haven’t had so much as a sniffle since then.
Will get pneumonia shot later. They won’t give both at the same time.
I believe the regular flu shot will work against CoVid-a9 as well.........................
Hopefully all goes well.
Keep us in the loop for any interesting news via doctor’s office visits. (i.e. protocol changes, etc.)
People will sell their souls for a bowl of pottage.
Pretty cheap rollover for a shot that can cause serious medical injury either soon or sometime at a later date to be determined.
