Vaccination against influenza will begin on October 5 in Quebec
The influenza vaccination campaign will begin on October 5, Public Health announced on Thursday.
Interested parties can make an appointment to obtain a dose of the new bivalent vaccine against COVID−19 at the same time, it was specified.
In addition, unlike Ontario, Quebec maintains the isolation period at five days, in the event of COVID−19, said the national director of public health, doctor Luc Boileau, in a press conference.
Authorities continue to monitor the COVID−19 situation as the number of cases and hospitalizations increases. Doctor Boileau nevertheless believes that it is too early to speak of a new wave right now.
Regarding the expansion of access to the drug Paxlovid against COVID−19, desired by health professionals, a recommendation should soon be made by the National Institute of Excellence in Health and Social Services (INESSS ), said Dr. Boileau.
