Quebec expanding COVID-19 booster shots, asking certain infected health workers to keep working
CTV
Quebec is expanding booster shot eligibility to people 18 and older on a gradual basis starting in early January as cases of COVID-19 are reaching record levels in the province.
Health Minister Christian Dubé said he expects to vaccinate the entire eligible population in Quebec with a third dose by March 2022.
On Tuesday, the province reported a record-breaking 12,833 new COVID-19 cases and 15 more deaths. Hospitalizations also rose to 702, up by 88 from the day before.
Booster shots, currently only open to people 60 and older and certain vulnerable groups of people such as daycare workers, will be opened up to younger people by five-year age increments starting on Jan. 4.
Here is the schedule for when more age groups will be able to book an appointment for a third dose of the vaccine in the New Year:
