DeWine on Monday asked Ohio health departments as well as vaccine providers offering the Pfizer vaccine to coordinate with the local high schools to offer vaccinations to high school students that are age 16 or older, according to a news release. The Pfizer vaccine is the only vaccine that is approved for “children as young as 16,” as of right now.
“As with our colleges, by taking vaccines to schools, we’ll increase the percentage of people in this age group who choose to get vaccinated,” DeWine said.
