Beginning Monday, colleges and universities throughout Ohio will begin offering COVID-19 vaccines to student s as part of the state s plan. Governor DeWine said he hopes offering the shots to students will give them the opportunity to become vaccinated before traveling home for the summer.
All Ohio adults and teens over the age of 16 are now eligible to sign up for vaccine appointments, but on Thursday DeWine announced he plans to specifically work with colleges and universities to get students access to shots more quickly, before the end of the semester.
