According to the latest vaccination figures in Quebec, 75% of Quebecers aged 60 and over have already received their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, or have made an appointment to receive it. This age demographic is of course the highest priority, as it represents 97.1% of the deaths from COVID-19 in the province.

Earlier today, Quebec Health Minister Christian Dubé announced that residents of CHSLDs who received their first dose 16 weeks ago will be starting to get their second doses of the Moderna or Pfizer vaccines in the coming days. Dubé also confirmed that 1 million Quebecers will be vaccinated in Quebec pharmacies during the COVID-19 vaccination campaign.

Ce matin sur le terrain : impressionnante logistique au centre de distribution Jean Coutu (Métro) à Varennes. Les vaccins Moderna et AZ y seront congelés/réfrigérés et transiteront avant d’être administrés.
