Vaccination appointments double in Quebec after province announces vaccine passport plan
“Canadians have understood that to get through this pandemic, they need to be vaccinated,” Trudeau said. “It’s not just a question of individual choice, it’s a question of protecting the community and our children who haven’t had the opportunity to be vaccinated.”
Legault said his government will outline how the passport system will work and when it will begin in the coming days. He said the province doesn’t plan to return to lockdowns that marked the first three waves of the pandemic.“We’ll put in place the passport so that people who made an effort to be vaccinated will be able to return to a normal life,” Legault said. “It means some non-essential services will be available only to vaccinated people.
This comes as Quebec continued to see a spike in infections on Friday with 218 new reported COVID cases and the first virus-related death since July 22.
