Summit County residents still looking to get vaccinated can do so this coming Monday at the Eccles Center, with community members as young as 12 welcome.
The clinic is being operated by NOMI Health, and will run from noon to 8 p.m. Another clinic will be held June 7 at Eccles Center during the same hours.
The clinics were scheduled just a few days after the Food and Drug Administration approved the COVID-19 vaccine made by Pfizer-BioNTech for Americans as young as 12. That approval came May 10, with the Centers for Disease Control giving its stamp of approval Wednesday, opening the door for those 12-15 to receive the vaccine.

Rich Bullough, Summit County’s health director and the public official at the center of the county’s pandemic response, has announced he will retire from the Health Department’s top post in August.
“This has been a remarkable honor for me,” Bullough told the Board of Health on Monday. “I’ve been in public health almost 30 years. By far the biggest honor that I’ve had has been in this job and serving this community and, importantly, being part of this team.”
Bullough has served as director since 2010 and told the board he twice delayed his retirement.
