Anyone 12 years of age or older who does not yet have their first or second dose of COVID-19 vaccine is encouraged to come to any Public Health clinic across the region whenever and wherever works best for them. Both Moderna and Pfizer vaccines will be available at all clinics.
"Most Niagara residents have already made the choice to get fully vaccinated and beat back the tide of this pandemic," said Dr. Mustafa Hirji, acting medical officer of health, Niagara Region Public Health.
"With the delta variant ascendant around the globe, we are seeing that those who have not yet been fully vaccinated are overwhelmingly the ones suffering illness and hospitalizations due to the delta variant. With easier and more plentiful access to vaccinations than ever before, let’s all do our part to Stick it to COVID for good."
