DAYTON, Ohio — Gov. Mike DeWine announced a new initiative Thursday to vaccinate as many of the state’s college students as possible by May 1.
“We have the ability to do this with Johnson and Johnson,” DeWine said, naming the version of the vaccine that requires only a single dose. “We know that most colleges are out around May 1, so there’s a very limited period of time. We’re working with our universities.”
He emphasized the need for convenience with this initiative, saying vaccine clinics would be located on campuses. He also cited the potential of college students to carry and spread the virus through travel and socialization.
