Niagara's mayors and Regional Chair have announced the planned locations of COVID-19 mass vaccination clinics in the region.
The following 11 sites have been named as clinic sites, once vaccines become available.
- Fort Erie - Leisure Plex
- Grimsby - YMCA
- Lincoln - Community Centre
- Niagara-on-the-Lake - Community Centre
- Niagara Falls - MacBain Community Centre
- Pelham - Meridian Community Centre
- Port Colborne - Vale Health and Wellness Centre
- St. Catharines / Thorold - Brock University
- Wainfleet - Community Hall
- Welland - YMCA
- West Lincoln - Community Centre
These locations were picked so that 90 percent of the population won't have to travel more than 15 minutes to get their dose.
All of the sites are accessible by public transportation.
Residents will be notified by Public Health when it's their turn to book an appointment for a vaccine.
Once the supply is available, the first group to receive inoculations will be those who are 80 years old or older, as well as Indigenous adults.
