The COVID-19 vaccination campaign in Quebec (French: Campagne de vaccination contre la Covid-19 au Québec) is an ongoing provincial effort to distribute and administer vaccines against COVID-19.
Quebec received their first shipments of COVID-19 vaccines on December 13, 2020.[2] Priority vaccination of long-term care home residents and healthcare workers began the next day, with an 89-year-old resident of a long-term care home in Quebec City being the first in the province and country to receive a vaccine.[3] On March 1, 2021, vaccination of the general population began, starting with people 80 years of age or older in Montreal.[4] Over the course of the next three months, the vaccination campaign was gradually expanded to each age group in descending order. By May 14, all adults in Quebec were able to book a vaccination appointment,[5] and by June 6, 75% of eligible Quebecers had received at least one dose of a vaccine.[6] By mid-January 2022, all adults were eligible to receive a third dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.[7]
From September 1, 2021, to March 12, 2022, a vaccine passport was required to enter restaurants, bars, gyms, and indoor venues, among other places.[8][9] For a short time, it was also required for big-box stores, provincial alcohol stores, and provincial cannabis stores.[10][11]
