These first doses will be given to CHSLDs in Montreal and Quebec City, which have been two of the major epicentres for the virus in Quebec.
Between December 21 and January 4, the Minister Of Public Health said 22,000 to 28,000 Quebecers could receive vaccinations.
In total, that means Quebec could be looking at 30k vaccines completed within the next three weeks.
Christian Dubé reminded us during his press conference on December 7 that these numbers are all approximates and subject to change, but said it's "excellent news."
All of these numbers are pending Health Canada's approval of the Pfizer vaccine.
