On the first day of eligibility, 75 children between the ages of six months and five years were booked for the shot at the vaccination centre at Décarie Square on Monday.
A total of 75 children between the ages of six months and five years — for whom Health Canada approved two quarter doses of the Moderna vaccine“It’s slow a little bit today, it’s the first week of the construction vacation, but I’m sure it’s going to pick up over the next few weeks,” said Lucie Tremblay, the director of nursing and vaccination for the CIUSSS du Centre-Ouest-de-l’Île-de-Montréal, which oversees the site.
Garneau said he has been waiting for a long time to get Simone vaccinated against COVID-19, describing it as “an insurance policy.” “It’s kind of a relief because we were wondering is he going to get COVID or not,” she said. “He finally got a shot, so there’s less chances he’s going to get COVID.” “We revised our process because you’re not doing it the same way with the little kids that you would do it even with the older kids,” Tremblay said. “The way that we hold them, the way that we do the vaccination. And it’s not the same professionals that can do it — so we revised the entire process to make sure, also, that the kids would feel safe when they’re coming here with their parents, and it’s as good as it can be.
Federal Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos took to Twitter on Monday to encourage Quebec parents to get their children vaccinated.
