Health Minister Christian Dubé is expected to provide an update on Quebec's COVID-19 vaccination campaign at a 1 p.m. news conference today.
According to Radio-Canada, Dubé is going to unveil details on third doses of the vaccine for seniors, including those in vulnerable living environments, such as long-term care homes and seniors' residences.
Dubé will be joined by the province's public health director, Dr. Horacio Arruda and Daniel Paré, the head of the province's vaccination campaign.
