More than 50 colleges and universities across Ohio are launching on-campus coronavirus vaccination clinics this week. As our Statehouse News Bureau’s Andy Chow reports, that includes all 14 public universities.
Inside a vaccination clinic at the Ohio State University's Schottenstein Center, Gov. Mike DeWine says thousands of college students around the state will be getting the COVID-19 vaccine this week.
DeWine says the goal is to immunize every student that wants the vaccine before classes end in May.
"What that does is, it will increase the number of students that will actually get vaccinated because they can get it on their own campus."
DeWine says doing this now before students leave helps the students, the hometowns they return to for the summer, as well as the universities planning to hold in-person instruction in the fall.
