In the Laurentians, the COVID-19 vaccination campaign started on December 22, 2020 with prioritized groups identified by the Comité sur l’immunisation du Québec.
Vaccination for the general population has not started yet. We will inform the population gradually as to how and when to make an appointment, a process which will be influenced by the number of doses received and the order of priority of groups established by ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux.
Starting February 25, 2021, throughout Québec, people 85 years of age or older (born in or before 1936) will be able to schedule an appointment to get vaccinated.
Making an appointment is mandatory.
To make an appointment :
