Akron s Chapel Hill Mall will be one of more than a dozen long-term COVID-19 mass vaccination sites opening across Ohio.
Gov. Mike DeWine and Cuyahoga County officials made the announcement Friday afternoon at Cleveland State University’s Wolstein Center, the site of a separate eight-week federal mass vaccination clinic, which starts March 17.
