Niagara Awaits Much Needed COVID-19 Vaccines

This is the week, Niagara should start receiving shipments of vaccines.

This is the week, Niagara should start receiving shipments of vaccines.

That according to Niagara West Tory MPP Sam Oosterhoff who last week promised shipments would start arriving early in the week.

Oosterhoff in an announcement on his Facebook page says high risk and vulnerable populations in health care and long term care settings will be the first to receive a shot.

Late last week, in a show of solidarity, Niagara’s 12 Mayors and regional chair, issued a joint release calling on the province "to ensure our frontline health care workers and residents have equal and timely access to vaccines as compared to other areas of Ontario."
