CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Wolstein Center mass vaccination clinic will offer the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine during its final week, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine’s office said Thursday.
The announcement means the clinic is offering the Pfizer vaccine from now through its final day of operations on June 7. The vaccine requires two doses taken 21 days apart, so anyone who receives their first dose at the Wolstein Center will be given an appointment for a second shot at an area Discount Drug Mart.
The clinic is offering the Pfizer vaccine because it is the only vaccine currently approved for children aged 12 to 15, DeWine said in a news release.
“Pfizer is the only vaccine approved for those ages 12 and up, so if you are a parent who has been thinking about bringing your child to the Wolstein Center for their vaccination, now is the time,” DeWine said in a news release. “This clinic has been tremendously successful, and the process to get in and out the door here has been fast and efficient for both youth and adults.”
The clinic, located at Cleveland State University’s Wolstein Center at 2000 Prospect Ave., accepts walk-ins seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Appointments can also be booked online at gettheshot.coronavirus.ohio.gov or by calling 833-4-ASK-ODH.
The clinic opened March 17 with the intention of offering vaccine appointments for eight weeks. DeWine’s office, the Ohio Department of Health and the Federal Emergency Management Agency later extended the clinic to 12 weeks.
The clinic has administered nearly 255,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccine in its first 10 weeks, according to the news release.
Anyone who receives at least their first shot of a COVID-19 will be eligible to register for Ohio’s Vax-a-Million drawing, which is offering $1 million to five adults and a full college scholarship to five children and teens. The first winners were announced on Wednesday evening, and more winners will be announced every Wednesday for the next four weeks.
