The Minister of International Relations and La Francophonie, Minister of Immigration, Francization and Integration and Minister responsible for the Laurentians region, Nadine Girault, visited Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts, on June 25, to meet the team of professionals working in the mobile vaccination unit, the VacciBUS.
“I was impressed by the immense organization and the work that is carried out by each of the professionals in the VacciBUS. I hope that this great initiative of the CISSS des Laurentides will encourage even more people to protect themselves with the vaccine against COVID-19 and thus hope for a return to normal life even more quickly,” the Minister underlined.
214 doses were administered during the passage of the VacciBUS from the beach at Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts. “All summer, in the Laurentians, the vaccine will reach out to people in the area. Already, we can see a favorable response from the population when using VacciBUS. The activities of this mobile unit began on June 19. During each outing, nearly 150 doses are administered, ”said Caroline Chantal, director of the vaccination COVID-19 campaign in the Laurentians.
Until August 15, the CISSS des Laurentides VacciBUS will travel the roads of the Laurentians to be present in various events and busy places or in a municipality to facilitate access to vaccination. The population can therefore receive a first or a second dose of the vaccine against COVID-19, always according to the available dose allocations, without an appointment, in a bus specially equipped for the occasion.
