Niagara's top doctor has received a COVID-19 vaccine.
Acting Medical Officer of Health Dr. Mustafa Hirji got his shot today at the Meridian Centre in Pelham.
Hirji took to Twitter to encourage others to "stick it to COVID."
After 5 months working to #VaccinateNiagara, got my turn to #StickItToCOVID today w. @NRPublicHealth teammates!
