“We encourage young people to make an appointment now, since as of this week, vaccination is open to those 30 and under”, repeated several times last Wednesday the director of Covid-19 vaccination in Outaouais, Nency Heroux.
As mentioned during the press conference this week by the acting director of public health in the Outaouais, Dr. Brigitte Pinard, vaccination is, according to specialists, the main solution to return to “normal”.
Remember that to make an appointment, people must register via the CLIC SANTÉ portal.
