Niagara Region Public Health has issued a warning about a recent phone scam relating to COVID-19 vaccines.

Anyone who receives such a call is advised to hang up immediately and refrain from providing details such as a credit card or health card number.

People who received a call are encouraged to contact Niagara Regional Police if they experienced a financial loss.

Niagara Public Health is reminding people that vaccine clinics are not open to the general public as of this time.
