At a press conference on Wednesday, Health Minister Christian Dubé, flanked by Montreal mayor Valérie Plante, announced that the city will welcome its second drive-thru vaccination site at the famous Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve. 

Appointments by car will be on June 5, 6, 12 and 13.

You can also get a dose if you're on a bike. Cyclists can make an appointment or simply show up at the track on May 29 and 30. Five hundred doses will be available for people without an appointment.

"Since there's no Formula 1, there are a lot of cyclists who ride the track and love this site," said Plante. "So, to live the experience of a 'pit stop' to get a vaccine, I think is a great idea."

Montreal's first drive-thru vaccination centre opened at the Pierre Elliot Trudeau Airport on May 17.
