So far, Niagara is not on the list of areas that will begin to see pharmacists administer AstraZeneca shots

The province announcing yesterday pharmacies in Kingston, Toronto and Windsor are already booking appointments for the shot as part of a pilot project

On Friday, over 325 pharmacies will be offering the vaccine by appointment to people aged 60 to 64 but only in specific regions of the province.

The Ford government is also working with physicians in Hamilton, Toronto, Guelph, Peterborough, Simcoe and Peel to begin inoculating patients starting on Saturday.
