A message to the Niagara Health team from President and Interim CEO Lynn Guerriero.
Over the next several days only, Niagara Health is working with family doctors in the community to directly schedule residents 80 years of age and older to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. These vaccinations will take place at the hospital’s clinic at Seymour Hannah Sports and Entertainment Centre in St. Catharines.
Over the weekend, the Province of Ontario announced that the period between the first and second vaccine doses will change from 35 days to four months (16 weeks) starting on Wednesday, March 10. All vaccination sites including Niagara Health must follow the directives sent out by Ontario’s Vaccine Task Force.
In the coming days, Niagara Health will begin booking appointments to vaccinate patients who are 80 years of age and older and are currently admitted to a hospital bed or have been admitted and stayed overnight in the last six months.
Across Niagara, 20,265 COVID-19 vaccines have now been administered to long-term care and retirement home workers and residents, essential caregivers, and hospital staff and physicians.
'The opportunity for our patients to be part of these clinical trials is important for discovering new and effective treatments for COVID-19.'
