Ohio bans COVID-19 vaccine requirements in public schools

Republican Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine signed legislation on Wednesday forbidding public schools and universities in the state from mandating any vaccination that lacks full Food and Drug Administration approval — covering all the COVID-19 vaccines, which have only gotten emergency approval.

An amendment to H.B. 244, OK'd by DeWine, states public educational institutions are not permitted to discriminate "against an individual who has not received the vaccine, including by requiring the individual to engage in or refrain from engaging in activities or precautions that differ" from those who have received the jabs.

However, the Ohio Department of Health can still demand quarantine for students and others who arrive at the state from different countries.
