Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine received the first dose of the coronavirus vaccine on Tuesday in a procedure streamed live.

DeWine and his wife are eligible because both are older than 70, the age group that can receive vaccines in Ohio this week.

DeWine, a Republican, had said previously he wouldn't cut in line for the shot but would wait his turn.

The Pfizer dose was administered by Dr Kevin Sharrett in his southwestern Ohio office.
