As eligibility for the COVID-19 vaccine continues to expand, more and more Niagarans, approaching 38 per cent as of this morning, are getting vaccinated. We encourage everyone who is eligible, including residents from earlier eligible age groups who have not yet gotten their vaccine, to register for an appointment very soon.
This morning, the provincial booking portal and call centre opened to the following groups
- Individuals turning age 50 in 2021 or older
- Individuals with high-risk health conditions. For details on who is included in this group, visit niagararegion.ca/covid-vaccine. One essential caregiver can also be immunized if the individual requires regular and sustained assistance with personal care and/or activities of daily living.
- People who cannot work from home who are in Group One (including remaining elementary and secondary school workers)
- First Nations, Inuit and Métis individuals (in addition to the other channels previously available to book their appointment)
Others already able to book an appointment through the provincial portal and call centre include
- Those age 18+ with a postal code starting with ‘L2G’
- Pregnant individuals and an essential caregiver
- Highest-risk individuals with health conditions and an essential caregiver. For details on who is included in these groups, visit niagararegion.ca/covid-vaccine.
Priority populations who were previously only able to book via the provincial call centre are now also able to book online through the provincial portal. These include individuals with the highest risk health conditions, child care workers in licenced child care settings and education workers who provide direct support to students with special education needs.
