(COLUMBUS, Ohio)— Ohio Governor Mike DeWine
announced today that Ohio's Mass Vaccination Clinic in Cleveland
will offer the Pfizer vaccine during the clinic's twelfth and final
week. The clinic's last day of operations will be Monday, June 7.
The clinic, located at Cleveland State University's Wolstein Center
at 2000 Prospect Avenue, opened in mid-March with the intention of
staying open for eight weeks. Governor DeWine, the Ohio Department
of Health, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) later
decided to extend the clinic to a total of 12 weeks. In its first 10
weeks of operations, nearly 255,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccine have
been administered at the clinic.
"Pfizer is the only vaccine approved for those ages 12 and up, so
if you are a parent who has been thinking about bringing your child
to the Wolstein Center for their vaccination, now is the time," said
Governor DeWine. "This clinic has been tremendously successful, and
the process to get in and out the door here has been fast and
efficient for both youth and adults."
