COLUMBUS — Governor Mike DeWine announced today that the state is offering a financial incentive for all State of Ohio employees and spouses who receive a COVID-19 vaccination.
State 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,” said Governor DeWine. “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.”
