One in four people has now received the first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine in Quebec, according to an April 13 tweet by Minister of Health Christian Dubé.

The province, which has a population of 8.5 million people, has administered over 2 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines to eligible Quebecers.

The health minister also said that 75% of Quebecers over 60 years old have either received the first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine or have booked appointments to receive the first dose.

Over 400,000 Quebecers between the ages of 19 and 59 have received their first doses, while 125,422 Quebecers in the same age group have made appointments to receive their first dose.

The province plans to give all willing Quebecers at least the first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine by June 24.
