St. Catharines NDP MPP Jennie Stevens sounding the alarm about the lack of booster shots available in Niagara for seniors.

Jennie Stevens is demanding the Ford government ramp up supplies to Niagara pharmacies in advance of Monday's expanded eligibility for booster shots. 

Stevens says seniors in Niagara have spent weeks calling local pharmacies trying to get appointments but many are being forced to wait until January.
