Gov. Mike DeWine signed a bill that will prevent public schools and universities from mandating COVID-19 vaccines for students and staff until they receive full approval from federal officials.
Language added to House Bill 244 will prevent schools and universities from requiring vaccines that haven t received full U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval. All three COVID-19 vaccines were approved under emergency use authorization, a rigorous protocol that includes clinical trials.
The new law doesn t take effect for 90 days, and the vaccines might receive full FDA approval in that window, making the language moot. We are confident the three main COVID vaccines – the Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson – will receive full FDA approval, said DeWine spokesman Dan Tierney, adding that the full approval will help reduce vaccine hesitancy.
