Clinical manager Natalie Ferrero and her team of 80\u2014including students, paramedics and nurses who have come out of retirement\u2014provide up to 1,500 vaccinations a day. The clinic opened Feb. 17, the same day the first sticky note was added to the wall. Now, the notes cover three-quarters of the arena glass, creating a rainbow of hope and gratitude. \u201cThat\u2019s what has kept us going,\u201d says Ferrero. \u201cIt was very stressful, especially at the beginning, and the staff would read the notes at the end of each day.\u201d After thousands of vaccinations and nearly as many thankful messages, one encounter stands out for Ferrero. \u201cA little lady in her 80s came in one day. She was a cancer survivor, but her cancer had come back and she was starting chemo again,\u201d Ferrero says, \u201cAnd she started to cry. She said, \u2018I haven\u2019t been hugged in a year. I\u2019m doing this all alone.\u2019 I told her, \u2018I\u2019ve been vaccinated\u2014may I hug you?\u2019 And I did.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1220551\" style=\"width: 830px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-sizes=\"auto\" class=\"wp-image-1220551 lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/www.macleans.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/COVID-19-VACCINE-POST-IT-GRATITUDE-CYCA-APRIL23.jpg\" alt=\"The Seymour-Hannah Sports and Entertainment Centre in St. Catharines has been converted from a hockey arena to a COVID-19 vaccination clinic for Niagara area residents.
