Sep 28, 2023
Quebec’s public health director will provide details today about the province’s fall COVID-19 vaccination campaign, expected to kick off around Oct. 10.
Officials have said the campaign will prioritize the most vulnerable, starting with those in public long-term care homes (CHSLDs) and private seniors’ residences (RPAs).
Vaccination and screening centres, as well as local pharmacies, will be offering the new boosters better tailored to the currently-circulating Omicron subvariants.
Dr. Luc Boileau will announce more details, including rollout dates, Thursday afternoon. He will be joined by Dr. Caroline Quach-Thanh, a pediatric infectious diseases specialist at the CHU Sainte-Justine and president of Quebec’s immunization committee (CIQ).
