Two Niagara MPPS are at odds over the vaccine shortage in the region.

Last week, Niagara Falls MPP Wayne Gates asked Minister of Health Christine Elliott about where Moderna vaccines committed to Niagara were diverted to.

He also asked when the region would receive their fair share of vaccines.

This weekend, when asked about the vaccine shortage, Niagara West MPP Sam Oosterhoff didn't respond to these questions, but placed the blame on the reduction of supplies on the federal government.

Gates says that Oosterhoff owes it to his constituents to find out more about what happened.
