There was no rush at the gate at the vaccination clinics in Montreal on Saturday.

“It’s going to the shops, otherwise I wouldn’t have kept it [la deuxième dose] Before traveling, ”said the 43-year-old.

A large passport

According to data from Quebec’s National Public Health Agency, the number of daily injections continues to decline despite the government’s new move.

“You have to remember that this is not the main purpose of the passport. The idea is to have a higher security margin and the risk of spreading is less,” D emphasizes.^R. Amir Qadir, Microbiologist.

The former MP said if the move was extended to several places, including universities or shopping centers, it would be a better opportunity to convince the last suspects.

Head of the Intensive Care Unit at Charles Le Moine Hospital, D.C.^R. Jermaine is a liar.

“I think if we get 85-90% vaccinated, we can say the task is done,” the doctor says.

He reminds us that Quebec is already one of the most vaccinated countries in the world, with 80% of people aged 12% and over doubly vaccinated.

Avoid bullying

Jermaine Bourier did not believe that offering the vaccine passport more privileges, such as the right to remove her mask, could convince the last rescuer.

For now, the health situation will not allow it, however, reiterating the importance of the vaccine.

The doctor, who asked, “If you do not want to be vaccinated yourself, at least do this for others,” said there are currently three Govt-19 patients in his unit, three of whom have not been vaccinated.
