Friday’s vaccination clinic at the Ohio Northern University King Sports Center takes place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
This is a change from last week’s announcement.
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.

We live in an age of information, but unfortunately, we also live in an era of misinformation.
Fake news spreads like wildfire. Fake news is information that is false or completely misleading that is presented as news. Fake news travels about 6 times faster than regular news on social media. This is extremely concerning.
Many of us consume news online, via social media. About 86% of adults admitted to at least getting some of their news through social media. 60% recorded that they often get their news from social media, according to a Pew research center study, conducted Aug. 31-Sept. 7, 2020.
Governor Mike DeWine plans to visit Ohio Northern University's campus mass vaccination clinic at King Horn Sports Center on Friday.
He expects to arrive on campus at 1:15 p.m. and will then tour the clinic in the field house.
The Icon expects additional information shortly from the governor’s office.
DeWine announced that the state will begin working with local colleges and universities to offer vaccination clinics on campuses across the state. These higher-education vaccination clinics will start on various campuses next week and will offer the one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
