Cincinnati area teens have been trickling into COVID-19 vaccination clinics ever since Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine opened up vaccine eligibility to everyone 16 and older on March 29. Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear did the same a week later.
Until then, public health officials are working to get more and more eligible teens vaccinated. In some cases, that means bringing vaccination clinics to school buildings.
Milford High School in Clermont County hosted a vaccination clinic in partnership with Clermont Public Health last week. District spokesperson Wendy Planicka says about 200 people came to the clinic, 150 of which were students. The second dose will be available on May 17.

She first adapted to learning online, then the hybrid model, where she met up with teachers and classmates just two days a week. This month, things changed again, as Bend-La Pine Schools became the first large district in Oregon to resume in-person instruction for all grade levels, five days a week. Higgins describes each day back inside Bend’s Summit High School as a kind of endurance test.
