CLEVELAND — The COVID-19 mass vaccination clinic at the Wolstein Center will close June 7.

During the last week of operation, clinic attendees will receive the Pfizer vaccine. If it's a patient's first dose, their second dose will be administered at a local Discount Drug Mart, Gov. Mike DeWine announced Thursday.

"Pfizer is the only vaccine approved for those ages 12 and up, so if you are a parent who has been thinking about bringing your child to the Wolstein Center for their vaccination, now is the time," DeWine said. "This clinic has been tremendously successful, and the process to get in and out the door here has been fast and efficient for both youth and adults."

The Wolstein Center operated as a mass vaccination clinic for 12 weeks. The state will still operate other clinics throughout Northeast Ohio and other regions. To find a COVID-19 vaccine provider, visit the Ohio Department of Health's website.

More than 600,000 Cuyahoga County residents have received at least part of a COVID-19 vaccine, meaning nearly 50 percent of the county is now vaccinated. New cases and hospitalizations have been dropping locally since the mass vaccination clinic opened.
