An Ohio judge will require some criminals to get a coronavirus vaccination as a condition of probation, local reports said.
“It occurred to me that at least some of these folks need to be encouraged not to procrastinate,” Richard Frye, a judge in Franklin County, told the Columbus Dispatch.
One order posted by the newspaper shows a man was required to share proof of vaccination with the probation department within 30 days to assist with “his ability to gain employment.”
“I think it’s a reasonable condition when we’re telling people to get employed and be out in the community,” Frye said.
