Niagara Health officials say they must follow the directives sent out by the Ontario Vaccine Task Force.
As a result, officials with Niagara's health system say starting today the period between the first and second doses of the COVID-19 vaccine will change from 35 days to four months.
The new vaccination schedule applies to people who received their first dose before March 10th at the hospital’s clinic at Seymour Hannah Sports Centre in St. Catharines.
Anyone who is waiting for their second dose at the clinic will receive a revised notification about their new second dose appointment.
The interval of 21- 27 days between doses remains for long-term care, retirement and First Nations elder care home residents.
NH officials say they will continue to advocate for the time between doses to be reduced, should the supply of the vaccine increase in the future
