The strong interest is in vaccination is also causing shortages of doses at some pharmacies, according to reports.<\/p>\n
However, Paquette says that there were no shortage of vaccines in the province.<\/p>\n
\u201cEveryone who books an appointment will have access to a vaccine, as sufficient quantities have been planned,\u201d Paquette added.<\/p>\n
The province\u2019s fall campaign began with the launch of vaccination at senior residences and for infants on Oct. 6. Vaccination for the public has been available since Oct. 20 at local service points and pharmacies.<\/p>\n
This year only some Quebecers considered to be particularly vulnerable are able to get the vaccinations for free, while everyone else have to pay for the jabs. The cost varies between $30 and $50.<\/p>\n
Shots are being offered free of charge<\/a> for seniors aged 65 and older, people living in senior residences and long-term care centres, those living with chronic diseases, pregnant women.<\/p>\n Caregivers and those who live with vulnerable groups like children under 6 months of age, seniors over 75 years, pregnant women and those with certain chronic illnesses are also eligible to get the vaccination for free. Some groups are also eligible for free RSV vaccinations.<\/p>\n Appointments can be booked on ClicSant\u00e9<\/a>.<\/p>\n \t\tKeep it Factual<\/p>\n Add CityNews Montreal as a trusted source on Google to see more local stories from us.<\/p>\n
