On July 28, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine announced that the state is offering a financial incentive for all State of Ohio employees and spouses who receive a COVID-19 vaccination.
The employees are eligible for a $100 financial incentive, while their spouses are eligible for a $25 financial incentive.
“State employees and their spouses are encouraged to protect themselves, their families and their communities by getting a COVID-19 vaccination,” the governor said. “Vaccines are the most effective strategy at stopping the spread of COVID-19 and preventing serious illness. I urge all Ohio employers to encourage their employees to get vaccinated, whether that’s through financial incentives, paid leave programs or other incentives.”
All Ohioans, including state employees, can receive a COVID-19 vaccination free of charge. To locate a vaccination location near you, visit gettheshot.coronavirus.ohio.gov.
