Vaccinations in Quebec continue to accelerate at a record pace

According to the latest vaccination statistics provided by public health, since vaccinations started in Quebec, the province has administered over 3 million COVID-19 vaccines —  3,103,978 to be exact. Of these, 3,018,120 are first doses and 85,858 are second doses.

It took Quebec 100 days to administer the first million vaccines, 20 days to administer the second million and just 15 days to reach 3 million vaccines. (That is an increase in vaccine administration of 33% during those 15 days.)

La montée en puissance de la campagne de vaccination est réelle. ????

1 M doses ???? 100 jours
2 M doses ???? 120 jours (+20)
3 M doses ???? 135 jours (+15)

Quebec Health Minister Christian Dubé announced yesterday that within the next couple of weeks, the under-60 population will be allowed to make vaccination appointments. Starting today, the 50 to 59 demographic can make their vaccination appointments.

Nous franchissons aujourd’hui une étape important dans notre opération de vaccination : ouverture de la prise de rdv à la population générale.

As long as vaccine supply holds up, the pace of vaccinations in the province will surely increase, and it looks like Quebec will hit its goal of having everyone in the province who wants the vaccine vaccinated with their first dose by June 24, Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day.
