Governor Mike DeWine made a stop at Circleville High School’s COVID-19 vaccination clinic, Saturday morning.
“We will hit a new milestone today. We will pass 4 million Ohioans who received at least one vaccination.”
During his visit, DeWine expressed concern over the recent rise in new case numbers in Ohio as he continued his emphasis on Ohioans getting vaccinated. Virus variants are being blamed for the spike, impacting mostly people age teens through 54.
Nationally, statistics have indicated that older people are seeing a drop in new cases, with many of those people having received vaccinations.
“We can vaccinate our way out of this problem.”
Approximately 200 people were expected to be vaccinated at the Circleville site Saturday, as the governor mentioned plans to start vaccinating high school students age 16 and older, as well as the effort to get vaccination clinics into places of employment, making it easier for employees to get the shots without having to miss work.
