As part of a provincial vaccination campaign, measles vaccination clinics will be held on December 10 and 11 in the region.
The pandemic has reduced access to vaccination everywhere on the planet. In the first two months of 2022, the World Health Organization reported that the number of measles cases increased by almost 80% worldwide.
The CISSS de Lanaudière thus invites parents of children whose vaccination schedule is not complete to have them vaccinated. To be protected, the child must have received two doses of vaccine from the age of one year or have proof that he has had the disease.
Two vaccination sites will distribute the vaccines during these two days in Lanaudière between 9:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.; that of Galeries Joliette and that of 1095 chemin du Coteau in Terrebonne, the former premises of the Mitsubishi dealership.
