Niagara Health's COVID-19 Vaccination Clinic is open to priority groups by appointment only at the Seymour-Hannah Sports and Entertainment Centre in St. Catharines.
As of April 7, individuals aged 60 and over can now book a vaccination appointment at the Niagara Health run Seymour-Hannah vaccination clinic using the Government of Ontario online booking system and call centre.
We encourage those coming to the arena for their appointment to please follow the recommendations provided in your appointment confirmation email. People are asked to arrive 10 minutes early but to remain in their vehicles until five minutes prior to their appointment. Individuals arriving for their appointments early can result in lineups at the clinic.
Niagara Health continues to administer the vaccine to targeted groups at the arena clinic or in the hospital. This work will evolve and change, and now includes:
- Niagara residents 60+ years old
- Complex care patients in hospital and those at home who are supported by Home and Community Care providers, regardless of age
- Frontline healthcare workers
- Frontline child care and education workers
- Residents with highest-risk health conditions (review eligibility and booking process)
- Faith leaders
In some cases, those eligible for an appointment will be contacted directly. We will provide updates as this work progresses. Updates about mass immunization planning for the general public are available on Niagara Region Public Health’s website: www.niagararegion.ca/covid-vaccine.
Please note that all second doses will take place 16 weeks from your original first dose appointment. For patients who have not received an email of the date change of your second dose, please call 905-378-4647, ext. 49099.
If you meet the eligibility criteria noted above or have any inquiries about eligibility, please contact Niagara Region Public Health at vaccineeligibility@niagararegion.ca
