Six counties in 60 days.

That’s the scope of Ohio Northern University’s state-sponsored COVID-19 vaccine outreach to rural areas of Northwest Ohio.

Governor Mike DeWine recently designated HealthWise Mobile Clinic as a mass-vaccination site for serving those who don’t have easy access to larger metropolitan areas where vaccines are more readily available.
