MONTREAL -- Montreal has become the first region in Quebec to accept COVID-19 vaccination appointments for those who are 65 years or older.
All other regions in the province remain open to those 70 and over.
People can sign up to receive the vaccine when it’s their turn by visiting the Quebec COVID-19 vaccination campaign website or by calling 1-877-644-4545.
Both the ClicSante website and the phone line to make COVID appointments (514-644-4545) crashed after the eligibility age on the Island of Montreal was lowered to 65.
Starting Monday, Montrealers will also be able to register for vaccinations at pharmacies, which will in turn begin to give inoculations starting March 22.
Those accompanying people getting vaccinated can also get a shot the same day as the person providing they are above the age group and provide support three days a week or more to the person who signed up for a shot.
