More pharmacies in Niagara are joining the vaccination effort.
The provincial government has announced 19 additional local pharmacies are joining the 22 locations already helping to disperse the COVID-19 vaccine.
The additions include 7 pharmacies in Niagara Falls, 5 in St. Catharines, 3 in Fonthill, 2 in Grimsby, and one each in Beamsville and Virgil.
Pharmacists have a limited supply of vaccine doses available for people 55 and older.
Boggio Edwards pharmacist Donnie Edwards says they have received a surge of people calling to secure an appointment, but the pharmacies are only being given a small supply of doses at this time.
Anyone interested in getting a vaccine at a pharmacy is encouraged to call ahead of time or use the pharmacy's website to join the waitlist.
