Niagara Region Public Health (NRPH) has launched an online submission portal where residents of Niagara are able to update their COVID-19 immunization record if they have received a COVID-19 vaccination outside of Ontario. It requires the patient to submit the information to NRPH along with an electronic copy of their vaccination receipt. Vaccination records take up to five days to process. Once completed, they can log onto Ontario Health to print their vaccine receipt.
