Starting at 8 this morning, Ontario is expanding booster dose eligibility to youth aged 12 to 17.

Health officials do recommend a six month interval between second and third doses for youth in that age group.

As COVID related health restrictions ease, the province is hoping to get more shots in arms to control the spread and severity of the virus

Niagara Regional Public Health is holding a growing list of small community driven vaccine clinics.

A clinic at the Factory Outlet on Lundy's Lane in Niagara Falls, next to Urban Kids, continues until February 21st.

The Niagara Falls Public Library on Victoria Avenue will host a clinic next week from February 22nd to the 24th
