VACCINATION CAMPAIGN
Quebec's health care professionals administered 60,990 more vaccinations in the province; 57,004 doses in the last 24 hours and 3,986 doses before June 20.
Outside Quebec, 18,196 doses were given for a cumulative total of 7,404,597, or 70.3 per cent of the population.
Quebec Premier François Legault, who received his second COVID-19 vaccine dose on Monday, says he wants to reach out to young people to encourage them to get vaccinated.
"I'm telling them, it's important for their own protection, important for vulnerable friends they may have; In the future, it will be important if they want to travel abroad because most countries will ask for the two doses," he said. "It's important if we want to come back to a normal life, that they get those two doses.”
The province has received 8,285,035 vaccine doses so far.
