ATHENS, Ohio — Ohio University will be hosting COVID-19 vaccination clinics for students who want the vaccine starting next week.

The university said clinics will begin April 7 at Heritage Hall at the Athen's campus and will be held each Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

Only the Johnson & Johnson vaccine will be available.

Students will receive texts and emails from OHIO COVID operations with details on clinic dates, times and an access code for making appointments online.

Those students who have scheduled appointments to receive other vaccines are encouraged by the university to cancel those and get the J&J vaccine on campus.

The announcement comes after Gov. Mike DeWine said the state will begin offering vaccinations to students before they break for the summer by May 1.
