ONU to offer COVID-19 Pfizer vaccine clinic for adolescents

10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday at HealthWise Pharmacy

With the FDA approving Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine for children age 12 and older, Ohio Northern University will be offering a special vaccination clinic for adolescents.

The clinic will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, at ONU HealthWise Pharmacy, 511 W. Lincoln Ave., Ada.

Children between the ages of 12 and 17, along with adults who live in Hardin County and surrounding counties, are welcome to receive the Pfizer vaccine at ONU’s Saturday clinic.

Adults will also have the option of receiving the Johnson & Johnson brand vaccine.

Ohio Northern will hold six in-person graduation ceremonies

Covering 2020 and 2021 graduates

All Ohio Northern University Commencements on May 8 and May 9 will move indoors due to an unseasonably inclement weather forecast.

“When we made the decision to hold in-person commencements outdoors, rain or shine, that made sense until a few days ago when the forecast for Sunday, May 9, predicted very steady wet and cold conditions could negatively impact both ceremonies on that day. Obviously, it was time to reconsider ‘rain or shine,’” explains President Daniel DiBiasio.

Laboring behind the scenes

Medical Laboratory Professionals Week celebration at ONU with several events and virtual 5-K

They labor behind the scenes, out of the limelight that showcases physicians and nurses who work directly with patients, but medical laboratory scientists perform vital work that the majority of disease diagnosis and treatments rely upon.

The COVID-19 pandemic has only magnified the need for such professionals.

Hence, the reason for Medical Laboratory Professionals Week, scheduled for April 18-24. The annual event, organized by representatives from 17 national clinical laboratory organizations, seeks to raise awareness and recruit for this in-demand field.
