Ohio hospitals could easily ramp up for mass vaccinations, DeWine says By Laura Hancock - Advance Ohio Media, Cleveland (TNS) COLUMBUS, Ohio — Many large hospital systems — including Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals and MetroHealth — are nowhere close to capacity in the number of Ohioans they could vaccinate if there were enough shots available, Gov. Mike DeWine said Monday afternoon. “There’s a tremendous ability to ramp up what we already have,” DeWine said during a coronavirus briefing, in response to a question about preparations for potential mass vaccinations. In fact, many of the larger hospital systems and other facilities have the ability to offer “what some people would call mass vaccination sites,” DeWine said, using an example of a Sunday clinic at Thurgood Marshall High School in Dayton, where Kroger, the city of Dayton, Public Health-Dayton & Montgomery County and the Ohio Department of Health gave 1,592 people shots.
