Rep. Weinstein statement as 15 additional mass vaccination sites set to open across Ohio

State Rep. Casey Weinstein (D-Hudson) issued a statement today as state officials announced a number of regional mass vaccination sites across Ohio, which will be able to administer up to 1,000 vaccines a day beginning later this month. Sites include Akron, Chillicothe, Cincinnati, Columbus, Dayton, Lima, Marietta, Maumee, Wilmington, Youngstown and Zanesville. Another four mobile sites will open in Ada, Athens, Mansfield and Steubenville. 

“A regional mass vaccination site coming to Akron will be a boon for all of Summit County,” said Rep. Weinstein. “As we enter the home stretch in the fight against COVID-19, it is more important now than ever we continue to the practice of masking, social distancing, and regular hand washing.” 

The Biden administration earlier Friday announced that Cleveland State’s Wolstein Center would serve as one of several FEMA-backed mass vaccination sites across the country, with the ability to administer 6,000 vaccine doses a day for eight weeks beginning March 17.
