Vaccination booking system open, schedule for local clinics released

Niagara Public Health’s schedule for community clinic vaccinations to protect against COVID-19 has been released, and the booking system is open for those in the 80-plus age group.

The first community clinic to vaccinate people aged 80 and older will be held in Niagara Falls on March 18.

Niagara-on-the-Lake’s first clinics at the community centre are scheduled for two days, March 31 and April 1, and then again on April 9, from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The schedule for the 11 Niagara community vaccination sites for the 80-plus age group was announced Friday, and goes from March 18 to April 10.

Clinics will operate on a rotating basis, and are expected to increase in frequency over the next few weeks. Once there is enough supply of vaccine available, clinics will be offered to local pharmacies and family doctors. Vaccinations are by appointment only, and seniors in the 80-plus age group can register online or by telephone through the provincial registration portal.
