Quebec Health Minister Christian Dubé has announced that 25% of people in Quebec have been vaccinated for COVID-19 with their first dose. This news comes as the province hits the milestone of 2,000,000 total vaccines administered.

The Health Minister confirmed that the COVID-19 vaccine has already had positive impacts in CHSLDs and private seniors residences, and reiterated its importance in the fight against COVID-19.

“We know that the finish line is approaching in each of our lives. The vaccine wins.”

2 millions de doses de vaccins ont été administrées au Québec. C’est 1 Québécois sur 4 qui a reçu sa 1ère dose!

On voit l’impact positif du vaccin dans nos CHSLD et RPA. On sait que le fil d’arrivé approche dans chacune de nos vies.
