Rejected because of the title of the petition
>Yost found the amendment's title — “Ohio Voters Bill of Rights” — was “highly misleading and misrepresentative” of the measure's contents, even as he acknowledged that his office had previously certified identical language. It certified a Nursing Facility Patients’ Bill of Rights in 2021 and another Ohio Voters Bill of Rights in 2014.

Wife and I got our boosters a few days ago, and had no issues other than a little soreness the next day. I do think that the pharmacies and doctors aren't promoting it like they have done before.
