127K 18–39-year-olds in Quebec still need to make first-dose appt. to reach 75%

Quebec Health Minister Christian Dubé has announced that the province has now administered 8 million total doses: 6 million first doses (80% of 12+) and 2 million second doses (27% of 12+). Dubé confirmed that there have been 0 deaths from COVID-19 in Quebec in the last 24 hours, but also that there is a major shortfall of 127,000 vaccine appointments being taken among 18–39 year olds.

6M (80%) de 1ère doses et 2M (27%) de 2e doses ont maintenant été administrées au Québec.

Dans les 24 dernières heures, on enregistre 0 décès.

La situation demeure très positive, une excellente nouvelle alors que l’ensemble du Québec passe au vert aujourd’hui. https://t.co/A9ZHqRa8Lo

127K 18–39 year olds in Quebec still need to make first-dose appointments to reach 75%

While Quebec has vaccinated 70.1% of its total population with at least one dose — the highest of any province in Canada — the province has not reached its goal of vaccinating 75% of all age groups (12+). 18–29 (66%) and 30–39 (71%) are the two age groups with the lowest percentage of their population vaccinated with at least one dose. 127,000 18–39 year olds still need to make their first dose appointment to reach the 75% benchmark.

“Everyone’s contribution makes a difference. If you want to maintain a positive situation, you have to get vaccinated. We have to play as a team.”
—Christian Dubé

The province has asked that Quebecers encourage their friends, notably those 18–39 years old, to get vaccinated.

Il reste encore 127K 18-39 ans qui doivent prendre rdv pour recevoir leur première dose pour atteindre 75% dans ces groupes d’âges.

La contribution de chacun fait une différence. Si on veut maintenir une situation positive, il faut se faire vacciner.
On doit jouer en équipe. ???? pic.twitter.com/hSD8nV7JiJ
