We continue to learn more about the Delta variant. Based on modelling from the Ontario COVID-19 Science Advisory Table, we expect to see another surge in cases in hospitals in our province over the next several months, impacting all age groups and all hospital services. 

Full vaccination of our teams is critical to maintain a safe environment for everyone in the hospital – it will reduce the spread of the virus, decrease the risk of outbreaks and ensure healthcare services are delivered as safely as possible.

“Vaccination rates are high in our hospital. At this time, 87% of our staff and physicians are fully vaccinated,” says Lynn Guerriero, President and CEO at Niagara Health. “We are working towards our goal of having 100% of our staff, physicians, learners and volunteers fully vaccinated in November.”
