COVID-19 vaccine clinics are coming to Niagara's schools.
As part of Niagara Region Public Health’s efforts to get as many eligible students as possible vaccinated, pop-up clinics will be taking place at eight high schools before in-person learning starts.
The first clinic will run August 23rd at St. Catharines Collegiate.
