CLEVELAND, Ohio Some Ohio schools that requested coronavirus vaccines will start receiving them this week ahead of the Feb. 1 anticipated start date, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine said Tuesday.
DeWine said vaccination would begin in Cincinnati Public Schools on Thursday. Schools that are going to receive the vaccine next week already know, and the rest of the schools will be notified by Friday.
Cuyahoga County schools are not included on the list of those receiving vaccines in the first week. Schools in Mahoning County, Medina County and Summit County are on the list. Columbus City Schools, Akron City Schools and Cincinnati Public Schools are all on the Week 1 list, but Cleveland Metropolitan School District is not.

Employees of select Ohio school districts will begin receiving vaccines the week of Feb. 1; however, neither Cleveland Schools nor any other school district in Cuyahoga County will be among the first group of districts receiving the vaccine.
Gordon said he expects the Cleveland district to start receiving the first doses of the vaccine the week of February 8th and that the entire process, including the consideration of when to bring students back to school, must be done efficiently.
