Ohio Department of Health Chief Medical Officer Dr. Bruce Vanderhoff says COVID-19 guidance for schools will include “strongly recommending” that everyone over age 12 get vaccinated and asks unvaccinated students and staff to wear masks and maintain social distancing.
“These recommendations are essential to the health of Ohio youth,” said Vanderhoff.
Vanderhoff stressed the importance of vaccinations for those who are eligible.
“The risks from COVID-19 are far greater than the risks from the vaccine,” he said. “Those who have vaccination concerns should speak directly with their doctor”, Vanderhoff said.
Vanderhoff stressed that these are not mandates for the schools to follow, simply recommendations.
ODH official guidelines will be posted on their website, no later than Tuesday.
