Niagara Health has hit an important milestone in the fight against COVID-19.
The organization says for the first time since September, there aren't any COVID-19 patients admitted in the hospital.
"This is the result of the efforts and dedication of the entire Niagara Health team," says Linda Boich, Executive Vice President, Quality, and Mental Health and Addictions, Executive Lead, Integrated Care and Executive Lead, Niagara COVID-19 Vaccination Task Force. "We are grateful to them for their professionalism and commitment to our patients and their families, which are making a positive difference during a difficult time. We’re also thankful to our partners and our community for their support and efforts throughout the pandemic."
Niagara Health says the milestone shows the impact of vaccinations in the community.
"We are getting closer to putting the pandemic behind us as more people get vaccinated," says Dr. Johan Viljoen, Chief of Staff. "Getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is critical to preventing a fourth wave and ending this pandemic. We encourage anyone who has not yet been vaccinated with a first and/or second dose to do so."
